In

enzymology, a phytanate—CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ATP + phytanate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + phytanoyl-CoA

The 3

.

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). This enzyme is also called phytanoyl-CoA ligase.
