Phytanic acid activation in rat liver peroxisomes is catalyzed by long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase
In Refsum disease, disorders of peroxisome biogenesis, and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata, pathological accumulation of phytanic acid results from impaired alpha-oxidation of this branched-chain fatty acid. Previous studies from this laboratory indicated that activation of phytanic acid to its...
