PHYH wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human PHYH wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 10p13 and is approximately 25 kb in length. This allele, which encodes phytanoyl-CoA dioxygenase, peroxisomal protein, plays a role in the 2-hydroxylation of various acyl-CoA fatty acid esters. Mutation of the gene is associated with classic Refsum disease.
