About MTHFD2

Cytogenetic location: 2p13.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:74,198,615-74,217,565 (from NCBI)

This gene has 21 transcripts (splice variants), 150 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in appendix (RPKM 27.6), lymph node (RPKM 27.0) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial bifunctional Enzyme with methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase and methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase activities. The Enzyme functions as a homodimer and is unique in its absolute requirement for magnesium and inorganic phosphate. Formation of the enzyme-magnesium complex allows binding of NAD. Alternative splicing results in two different transcripts, one protein-coding and the other not protein-coding. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 7. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
