Summary: This gene encodes a trifunctional cytoplasmic enzyme. The encoded protein functions as a methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, a methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase, and a formyltetrahydrofolate synthase. The encoded enzyme functions in de novo synthesis of purines and thymidylate and in regeneration of methionine from homocysteine. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

MTHFD1 regulates the NADPH redox homeostasis in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma.
Title: MTHFD1 regulates the NADPH redox homeostasis in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma.
Deletion of Mthfd1l causes decreased density in the cranial mesenchyme and this defect is improved with formate supplementation. This study reveals a mechanistic link between folate-dependent mitochondrially produced formate, head mesenchyme formation and neural tube defects.
Title: Deletion of neural tube defect-associated gene Mthfd1l causes reduced cranial mesenchyme density.
MTHFD1 synthetase-deficient mice are more sensitive to low folate intake than wild-type mice during pregnancy.
Title: Low Dietary Folate Interacts with MTHFD1 Synthetase Deficiency in Mice, a Model for the R653Q Variant, to Increase Incidence of Developmental Delays and Defects.
Study evaluated cognitive function in Mthfd1(gt/+) male and female mice using a behavioral battery composed of eight different tests, found that these mice display impaired cue-conditioned learning, while other behaviors remain intact.
Title: Deletion of one allele of Mthfd1 (methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1) impairs learning in mice.
Study observed decreased tumor growth in mice with reduced MTHFD1-synthetase activity, a model for the decreased metabolic activity of the human R653Q variant. These results propose that synthetase deficiency does not contribute to tumor initiation in the normal colon, but it limits tumor growth by reducing purine pools and altering expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and inflammation.
Title: Murine MTHFD1-synthetase deficiency, a model for the human MTHFD1 R653Q polymorphism, decreases growth of colorectal tumors.
Moderately higher folate intake and MTHFD1-synthetase deficiency in pregnant mice result in a lower methylation potential in maternal liver and embryos and a greater incidence of defects in embryos.
Title: Moderate folic acid supplementation and MTHFD1-synthetase deficiency in mice, a model for the R653Q variant, result in embryonic defects and abnormal placental development.
Deficiency of the MTHFD1 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase activity in embryos is associated with increased incidence of congenital heart defects
Title: MTHFD1 formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase deficiency, a model for the MTHFD1 R653Q variant, leads to congenital heart defects in mice.
methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1), an enzyme that generates methylenetetrahydrofolate from formate, ATP, and NADPH, functions in the nucleus to support de novo thymidylate biosynthesis.
Title: Nuclear enrichment of folate cofactors and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1) protect de novo thymidylate biosynthesis during folate deficiency.
Mthfd1gt/+ mice exhibited attentional dysfunction and a blunted affective response to committing an error. They also showed decreased expression levels for genes encoding choline dehydrogenase and the alpha 7 nicotinic cholinergic receptor.
Title: Dietary and genetic manipulations of folate metabolism differentially affect neocortical functions in mice.
Data suggest that decreased MTHFD1 activity (here, insertional mutant heterozygotes) has greater impact on one-carbon metabolism compared with folate-deficient diet; no interaction was observed between MTHFD1 genotype and folate deficiency.
Title: Reduced MTHFD1 activity in male mice perturbs folate- and choline-dependent one-carbon metabolism as well as transsulfuration.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
