Phytanic acid oxidation: topographical localization of phytanoyl-CoA ligase and transport of phytanic acid into human peroxisomes.

To understand the possible role of phytanoyl-CoA ligase, present in the membrane, in the oxidation of phytanic acid in the matrix of peroxisomes (Pahan, K. and I. Singh. 1993. FEBS Lett. 333: 154-158) we examined the transport of phytanic acid/phytanoyl-CoA into peroxisomes and the topology of the a...
