Gene information for PHYH (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5264
Official gene symbolPHYH
Full namephytanoyl-CoA 2-hydroxylase
Aliases,LN1,LNAP1,PAHX,PHYH1,RD,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the PhyH family and encodes a peroxisomal protein that is involved in the alpha-oxidation of 3-methyl branched fatty acids. Specifically, this protein converts phytanoyl-CoA to 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Refsum disease (RD) and deficient protein activity has been associated with Zellweger syndrome and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq]
