About Dhfr

Primary_assembly 2: 23,586,031-23,613,713 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026975.1

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 356 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 25 phenotypes. Biased expression in Kidney (RPKM 45.8), Liver (RPKM 427.1) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

Enables NADP binding activity; dihydrofolate reductase activity; and dihydrofolic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including axon regeneration; folic acid-containing compound metabolic process; and response to methotrexate. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Orthologous to several human genes including DHFR2 (dihydrofolate reductase 2) and DHFRP1 (dihydrofolate reductase pseudogene 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
