Ontological Term Details

Metabolite
HMDB0001429 (Phosphate)
Term
Folate Metabolism
Definition
folic acid participates in both the activation of single carbons as well as in the oxidation and reduction of single carbons. folate-dependent single-carbon reactions are important in amino acid metabolism and in biosynthetic pathways leading to dna, rna, membrane lipids, and neurotransmitters.
Parent Term
