| Common Name | 5-Formiminotetrahydrofolic acid |
|---|
| Description | 5-formiminotetrahydrofolic acid is a member of the class of compounds known as tetrahydrofolic acids. Tetrahydrofolic acids are heterocyclic compounds based on the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteroic acid skeleton conjugated with at least one L-glutamic acid unit. 5-formiminotetrahydrofolic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Within the cell, 5-formiminotetrahydrofolic acid is primarily located in the cytoplasm (predicted from logP). In humans, 5-formiminotetrahydrofolic acid is involved in few metabolic pathways, which include folate malabsorption, hereditary, folate metabolism, histidine metabolism, and methotrexate pathway. 5-formiminotetrahydrofolic acid is also involved in a couple of metabolic disorders, which include histidinemia and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency (MTHFRD). 5-formiminotetrahydrofolic acid is an intermediate in the catabolism of histidine. It is produced by glutamate formimidoyltransferase and then converted into 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate by formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase (Wikipedia). 5-Formiminotetrahydrofolic acid is a substrate for Formimidoyltransferase-cyclodeaminase.. |
