Abstract excerpt
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a co-substrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. A human cDNA for MTHFR, 2.2 kb in length, has been expressed and shown to result in a catalytically active enzyme of approximately 70 kDa. Fifteen mutations have been identified in the MTHFR gene: 14 rare mutations...
