Description

AI-generatedUnreviewed
This family of proteins is involved in the metabolism of phytanic acid, a type of branched-chain fatty acid. Members of this family are responsible for catalyzing the conversion of phytanoyl-CoA, a Coenzyme A derivative of phytanic acid, to 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA. This reaction is an important step in the alpha-oxidation pathway, which is essential for the breakdown of phytanic acid. The proper functioning of this pathway is crucial for preventing the accumulation of phytanic acid, which can lead to neurological and developmental disorders.
