Mthfd2l Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase activity; methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity; and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity. Predicted to be involved in 10-formyltetrahydrofolate metabolic process and tetrahydrofolate interconversion. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane and mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; gonad; gut; and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human MTHFD2L (methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP+ dependent) 2 like). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Mthfd2l often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
