Pristanic acid

Pristanic acid is a lipid of Prenol Lipids (PR) class. Pristanic acid is associated with abnormalities such as Refsum Disease, Peroxisomal Disorders, Hereditary Diseases, Peripheral Neuropathy and Sensory neuropathy. The involved functions are known as physiological aspects, Regulation, Pathogenesis, Oxidation and Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor Activity [MoA]. Pristanic acid often locates in peroxisome, Body tissue, Mitochondria, Membrane of peroxisome and Organelles. The associated genes with Pristanic acid are PSG5 gene, LGALS4 gene, PEX2 gene, ACSL4 gene and ACSL1 Gene. The related lipids are pristanic acid, Fatty Acids, branched chain fatty acid, Plasmalogens and 3-hydroxypristanic acid.
