Folate status in various pathophysiological conditions.

IUBMB life - 1 Dec 2008

Wani Nissar Ahmad, Hamid Abid, Kaur Jyotdeep

Abstract excerpt

Folate is the generic term for compounds that have vitamin activity similar to that of pteroylglutamic acid. Folate acts as a coenzyme in several single carbon transfers involved in biosynthesis of purine nucleotides and deoxythymidylic acid essential for DNA and RNA synthesis. In addition, folate provides one-carbon unit for methylation of a wide variety of biological substances including DNA, proteins,...
