Macrophage uptake and accumulation of folates are polarization-dependent in vitro and in vivo and are regulated by activin A
7 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Vitamin B9, commonly known as folate, is an essential cofactor for one-carbon metabolism that enters cells through three major specialized transporter molecules (RFC, FR, and PCFT), which differ in expression pattern, affinity for substrate, and ligand-binding pH dependency. We now report that the expression of the folate transporters differs between macrophage subtypes and explains the higher accumulation of...
