Target Details for Dihydrofolate Reductase

Target: Dihydrofolate Reductase (DHFR)

Alternative Name: DHFR

Background:

Synonyms: Dihydrofolate reductase,1.5.1.3,DHFR,

Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed in fetal and adult tissues, including throughout the fetal and adult brains and whole blood. Expression is higher in the adult brain than in the fetal brain. .

Background: Dihydrofolate reductase, or DHFR, is an enzyme that reduces dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid, using NADPH as electron donor, which can be converted to the kinds of tetrahydrofolate cofactors used in 1-carbon transfer chemistry. In humans, the DHFR enzyme is encoded by the DHFR gene. It is found in the q11→q22 region of chromosome 5. What's more, DHFR belongs to the dihydrofolate reductase family, and it converts dihydrofolate into tetrahydrofolate, a methyl group shuttle required for the de novo synthesis of purines, thymidylic acid, and certain amino acids. DHFR is the key enzyme in folate metabolism. In addition, DHFR catalyzes an essential reaction for de novo glycine and purine synthesis, and for DNA precursor synthesis.

Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the dihydrofolate reductase family.
