Identification
BMDB Protein ID BMDBP00821
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • BMDBP03053
Name Dihydrofolate reductase
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name DHFR
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific Function Key enzyme in folate metabolism. Contributes to the de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis pathway. Catalyzes an essential reaction for de novo glycine and purine synthesis, and for DNA precursor synthesis. Binds its own mRNA and that of DHFR2 (By similarity).
Pathways
  • 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate from 7,8-dihydrofolate: step 1/1
  • Cofactor biosynthesis
  • Tetrahydrofolate biosynthesis
