Svensk definition
Ett enzym som katalyserar bildandet av 10-formyltetrahydrofolat från format och tetrahydrofolat i närvaro av ATP. Enzymet har påvisats i levern hos duvor, erytrocyter hos människa och vissa mikroorganismer. EC 6.3.4.3.
Formate-Tetrahydrofolate Ligase
Formattetrahydrofolatligas
Engelsk definition
A carbon-nitrogen ligase that catalyzes the formation of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate from formate and tetrahydrofolate in the presence of ATP. In higher eukaryotes the enzyme also contains METHYLENETETRAHYDROFOLATE DEHYDROGENASE (NADP+) and METHENYLTETRAHYDROFOLATE CYCLOHYDROLASE activity.
