5-Formyltetrahydrofolate Regulates Homocysteine Remethylation in Human Neuroblastoma
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
The metabolic role of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate is not known; however, it is an inhibitor of several folate-dependent enzymes including serine hydroxymethyltransferase. Methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (MTHFS) is the only enzyme known to metabolize 5-formyltetrahydrofolate and catalyzes the conversion of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate. In order to address the function of...
