Gene Name DHFR
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in dihydrofolate reductase activity
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 DHFRL1.
