1 The results described in this paper provide strong evidence suggesting that LCAD plays a central role in branched-chain fatty acid metabolism since it turns out to be the major acyl-CoA dehydrogenase reacting with 2,6-dimethylheptanoyl-CoA, a metabolite of pristanic acid, which itself is the alpha-oxidation product of phytanic acid. pristanic acid acyl-CoA dehydrogenase long chain Homo sapiens
