PhyH is 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. It requires iron and ascorbate as cofactors and is expressed in liver, kidney, and T-cells but not in spleen, brain, heart, lung and skeletal muscle. Defects in PhyH are a cause of 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.
