Also known as HsT19268
Summary
MTHFS (methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase, HGNC:7437) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q25.1, encoding 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase (P49914). Contributes to tetrahydrofolate metabolism.
The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate, a precursor of reduced folates involved in 1-carbon metabolism. An increased activity of the encoded protein can result in an increased folate turnover rate and folate depletion. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Contributes to tetrahydrofolate metabolism. Helps regulate carbon flow through the folate-dependent one-carbon metabolic network that supplies carbon for the biosynthesis of purines, thymidine and amino acids. Catalyzes the irreversible conversion of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate (5-FTHF) to yield 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.
Disease relevance. Neurodevelopmental disorder with microcephaly, epilepsy, and hypomyelination (NEDMEHM) [MIM:618367] An autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder with onset at birth or in early infancy, and characterized by microcephaly, short stature, severe global developmental delay, progressive spasticity, and epilepsy. Brain imaging shows delayed myelination, hypomyelination, enlarged ventricles, and cerebellar atrophy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase family.
