Metabolite Identification
Common Name5,10-Methenyltetrahydrofolic acid
Description5,10-5,10-5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolic acid, also known as 5,10-5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolic acid or 5,10-methenyl-THF, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tetrahydrofolic acids. These are heterocyclic compounds based on the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteroic acid skeleton conjugated with at least one L-glutamic acid unit. 5,10-5,10-5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa). 5,10-5,10-5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. 5,10-5,10-5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 5,10-5,10-5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolic acid can be biosynthesized from 10-formyltetrahydrofolate; which is catalyzed by the enzyme C-1-tetrahydrofolate synthase, cytoplasmic. In addition, 5,10-5,10-5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolic acid can be biosynthesized from N5-formyl-THF; which is mediated by the enzyme 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase. In cattle, 5,10-5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the folate metabolism pathway.
