About MTHFS

Cytogenetic location: 15q25.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 15:79,843,547-79,897,285 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Broad expression in liver (RPKM 20.2), kidney (RPKM 14.0) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an Enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate, a precursor of reduced folates involved in 1-carbon metabolism. An increased activity of the encoded protein can result in an increased folate turnover rate and folate depletion. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
