Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have revealed that genetic factors may be involved in regulating folate turnover, e.g. methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism in the development of male infertility. Folate transporter, encoded by the SLC19A1 gene, commonly referred to as reduced folate carrier (RFC) is a transmembrane protein, which transfers hydrophilic folates across the cell membrane. It was hypothesized that common...
