Reaction: pristanate + CoA-SH + ATP => pristanoyl-CoA + AMP + pyrophosphate
- in pathway: Alpha-oxidation of phytanate
VLCS (very long chain acyl-CoA synthetase), associated with the inner surface of the peroxisomal membrane, catalyzes the reaction of pristanate, CoA-SH and ATP to form pristanoyl-CoA, AMP and pyrophosphate (Steinberg et al. 1999).
