  • Title: Characteristics and subcellular localization of pristanoyl-CoA synthetase in rat liver.
    Author: Wanders RJ, Denis S, van Roermund CW, Jakobs C, ten Brink HJ.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1992 May 08; 1125(3):274-9. PubMed ID: 1596515.
    Abstract:
    We have investigated the activation of pristanic acid to its CoA-ester in rat liver. The results show that peroxisomes, mitochondria as well as microsomes contain pristanoyl-CoA synthetase activity. On the basis of competition experiments and immunoprecipitation studies using antibodies raised against rat liver microsomal long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase (EC 6.2.1.3) we conclude that pristanic acid is activated by the same enzyme which activates long-chain fatty acids, i.e., long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase.
