MTHFD1L methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP+ dependent) 1 like

Gene ID: 25902, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FTHFSDC1; MTC1THFS; dJ292B18.2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate (THF) in the mitochondrion. THF is important in the de novo synthesis of purines and thymidylate and in the regeneration of methionine from homocysteine. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
