Molecular biology of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase.

Journal of nephrology - 1 Jan 2000

Födinger M, Hörl W H, Sunder-Plassmann G

Abstract excerpt

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays a central role in the folate cycle and contributes to the metabolism of the amino acid homocysteine. It catalyzes the reduction of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, thus generating the active form of folate required for remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Deficiency of MTHFR may be associated with an increase in plasma...
