Mthfd1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes a trifunctional cytoplasmic enzyme. The encoded protein functions as a methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, a methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase, and a formyltetrahydrofolate synthase. The encoded enzyme functions in de novo synthesis of purines and thymidylate and in regeneration of methionine from homocysteine. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Mthfd1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
