geneOn this page
Summary
MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, HGNC:7436) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p36.22, encoding Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (NADPH) (P42898). Catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a cosubstrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. In precision oncology, MTHFR A222V confers sensitivity to Fluorouracil in Rectum Cancer (CIViC Level B); 1 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below.
The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a co-substrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. Genetic variation in this gene influences susceptibility to occlusive vascular disease, neural tube defects, colon cancer and acute leukemia, and mutations in this gene are associated with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a cosubstrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. Represents a key regulatory connection between the folate and methionine cycles.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation of an N-terminal serine-rich phosphorylation region increases sensitivity to S-adenosylmethionine and inhibition.
Disease relevance. Homocystinuria due to deficiency of N(5,10)-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase activity (MTHFRD) [MIM:236250] An autosomal recessive inborn error of folate metabolism. Clinical severity is variable, ranging from severe neurologic features to absence of symptoms. Clinical features include homocysteinuria, homocysteinemia, developmental delay, severe intellectual disability, perinatal death, psychiatric disturbances, and later-onset neurodegenerative disorders. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367] A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Neural tube defects, folate-sensitive (NTDFS) [MIM:601634] The most common NTDs are open spina bifida (myelomeningocele) and anencephaly. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Schizophrenia (SCZD) [MIM:181500] A complex, multifactorial psychotic disorder or group of disorders characterized by disturbances in the form and content of thought (e.g. delusions, hallucinations), in mood (e.g. inappropriate affect), in sense of self and relationship to the external world (e.g. loss of ego boundaries, withdrawal), and in behavior (e.g bizarre or apparently purposeless behavior). Although it affects emotions, it is distinguished from mood disorders in which such disturbances are primary. Similarly, there may be mild impairment of cognitive function, and it is distinguished from the dementias in which disturbed cognitive function is considered primary. Some patients manifest schizophrenic as well as bipolar disorder symptoms and are often given the diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Allosterically regulated by S-adenosylmethionine (SAM).
Domain organisation. Contains a serine-rich phosphorylation region at the N-terminal and an eukaryote-only S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-binding domain at the C-terminal. Through asymmetric homodimerization, the two regions are positioned next to each other and N-terminal phosphorylation increases sensitivity to SAM binding and inhibition.
Pathway. One-carbon metabolism; tetrahydrofolate interconversion.
Polymorphism. Genetic variation in MTHFR influences susceptibility to occlusive vascular disease, neural tube defects (NTD), colon cancer and acute leukemia.
Similarity. Belongs to the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 77 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
