Abstract excerpt
Refsum's disease is a neurological syndrome characterized by adult-onset retinitis pigmentosa, anosmia, sensory neuropathy and phytanic acidaemia. Many cases are caused by mutations in peroxisomal oxygenase phytanoyl-CoA 2-hydroxylase (PAHX) which catalyses the initial alpha-oxidation step in the degradation of phytanic acid. Both pro and mature forms of recombinant PAHX were produced in Escherichia coli, highly...
