Description

Phytanic acid is a fatty acid found in the cell membranes of all mammals. It is an intermediate product in the biosynthesis of arachidonic acid and participates in mitochondrial functions, cellular physiology, energy metabolism, and regulation of intracellular calcium levels. Phytanic acid has been shown to inhibit ATP-dependent transport and reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, it has been shown to be a precursor for other fatty acids that are involved in the inflammatory response. The phytanic acid experimental model has been used extensively to study the pathogenic mechanism of sepsis.
