In enzymology a phytanate-CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + phytanate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + phytanoyl-CoAThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP phytanate and CoA whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and phytanoyl-CoA.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phytanate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming).
