Gene Information

human ... PHYH(5264)

General description

PHYH (phytanoyl-CoA 2-hydroxylase) gene encodes a proprotein with an N-terminal PTS2 that is essential for its transport into peroxisomes via Pex7. This proprotein undergoes cleavage in the peroxisome to form the mature protein. It belongs to the Fe(II) and 2OG (2-oxoglutarate) oxygenase superfamily.

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PHYH (phytanoyl-CoA 2-hydroxylase) gene encodes a peroxisomal oxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of phytanoyl-CoA to 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA. This is an essential step in the α-oxidation of phytanic acid (PA). It plays a role in the α-oxidation of 3-methyl branched fatty acids. Defects in this gene results in the accumulation of PA and cause adult Refsum′s disease (ARD). Deficiency of this protein also causes Zellweger syndrome and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Phytanic acid (PA) is an epimeric metabolite of the isoprenoid side chain of chlorophyll. Owing to the presence of its epimeric beta-methyl group, PA cannot be metabolized by beta-oxidation. Instead, it is metabolized in peroxisomes via alpha-oxidation to give pristanic
