Nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF‐1) upregulates the expression and function of reduced folate carrier (RFC) at the blood‐brain barrier
16 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Folates are important for neurodevelopment and cognitive function. Folate transport across biological membranes is mediated by three major pathways: folate receptor alpha (FRα), proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT), and reduced folate carrier (RFC). Brain folate transport primarily occurs at the choroid plexus through FRα and PCFT; inactivation of these transport systems results in suboptimal folate levels in...
