In enzymology a phytanoyl-CoA dioxygenase (EC 1.14.11.18) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionphytanoyl-CoA + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA + succinate + CO The three substrates of this enzyme are phytanoyl-CoA 2-oxoglutarate and O2 whereas its three products are 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA succinate and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of iron(II)-dependent oxygenases which typically incorporate one atom of dioxygen into the substrate and one atom into the succinate carboxylate group.
