Genes affected

MTHFS (HGNC:7437): (methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase) 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

MTHFS links:

ST20-MTHFS (HGNC:44655): (ST20-MTHFS readthrough) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring suppressor of tumorigenicity 20 and 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase) genes on chromosome 15. The read-through transcript produces a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with each individual gene product. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
