Reaction: 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA => pristanal + formyl-CoA

- in pathway: Alpha-oxidation of phytanate
Peroxisomal HACL1 catalyzes the reaction of 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA to form pristanal and formyl-CoA. The active form of the enzyme is a homotetramer, with one Mg++ and one molecule of thiamin pyrophosphate bound to each monomer (Croes et al. 1997; Foulon et al. 1999).
