MTHFD

MTHFD

Methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (MTHFD) is an essential enzyme in the folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism, which is crucial for the biosynthesis of a number of amino acids, including glycine, alanine, and serine, as well as nucleotide bases, formylated methionine, and some pro-vitamins. MTHFD, also known as FolD in this species, is a dual function enzyme found in some bacteria, including E. coli, that catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate and NADP+ to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate and NADPH (dehydrogenase function) and then the first product to 10-formyltetrahydrofolate (cyclohydrolase function). Some microorganisms have a separate enzyme (FchA) that catalyzes the second cyclohydrolase function, and some species have a different pathway that uses formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (Fhs) to produce 10-formyltetrahydrofolate. MTHFD is a crucial anticancer therapy target in eukaryotes.
