Folate and Epigenetics: Why we Should Not Forget Bacterial Biosynthesis
1 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Folate, together with other B-vitamins, plays a crucial role in epigenetic regulation. Folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism refers to a complex network of interconnected metabolic pathways, which ultimately result in a supply of methyl groups for DNA, RNA or protein methylation. These epigenetic marks, particularly DNA methylation, have been proposed as plausible mechanisms underlying associations between folate...
