FPGS - folylpolyglutamate synthase Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About FPGS
This gene has 21 transcripts (splice variants) and 228 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 14.6), fat (RPKM 12.1) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes the folylpolyglutamate synthetase enzyme. This enzyme has a central role in establishing and maintaining both cytosolic and mitochondrial folylpolyglutamate concentrations and, therefore, is essential for folate homeostasis and the survival of proliferating cells. This enzyme catalyzes the ATP-dependent addition of glutamate moieties to folate and folate derivatives. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
