Abstract excerpt
Homozygous NEUT2 mice lack cytosolic 10-formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (FDH; Champion et al. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91, 11,338-11,342) and as a consequence should be unable to oxidize carbon 2 of l-histidine to CO2 via 10-formyltetrahydrofolate in liver cytosol. There was essentially no oxidation of l-[2-14C]histidine to 14CO2 in homozygous NEUT2 mice, but 52% of the [2-14C]l-histidine dose was...
