Abstract excerpt
The functional role of mitochondrial (mt) folate-associated proteins in mammalian cells is not clearly understood. We investigated the respiratory function and apoptosis phenotype of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) mutant cells with defective mt serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) activities (glyA...
