Folate biosynthesis
| Definition | Protein involved in the synthesis of folate, the ionic form of folic acid (Latin folium, 'leaf'), first found in spinach leaves. Folate is converted in a two-step reduction into its coenzyme form tetrahydrofolate, often abbreviated FH4 or THF, which acts as a carrier of one-carbon units at several oxidation levels in a variety of biosyntheses. |
