Protein attributes
| Sequence length | 510 AA. |
| Sequence status | Complete. |
| Protein existence | Evidence at transcript level |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Catalyzes conversion of folates to polyglutamate derivatives allowing concentration of folate compounds in the cell and the intracellular retention of these cofactors, which are important substrates for most of the folate-dependent enzymes that are involved in one-carbon transfer reactions involved in purine, pyrimidine and amino acid synthesis By similarity. |
| Catalytic activity | ATP + tetrahydropteroyl-(gamma-Glu)(n) + L-glutamate = ADP + phosphate + tetrahydropteroyl-(gamma-Glu)(n+1). |
| Cofactor | A monovalent cation By similarity. |
| Pathway | Cofactor biosynthesis; tetrahydrofolylpolyglutamate biosynthesis. |
| Subcellular location | Mitochondrion inner membrane By similarity. Mitochondrion matrix By similarity. Cytoplasm By similarity. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the folylpolyglutamate synthase family. |

Alternative products
| This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing and alternative initiation. [Align] [Select] | ||||||
| Isoform a (identifier: Q09509-1) This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry. | ||||||
| Note: No experimental confirmation available. | ||||||
| Isoform b (identifier: Q09509-2) The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows: 3-9: LLPQTNR → IISSIFAPTRGFHSRSTW | ||||||
| Note: No experimental confirmation available. Produced by alternative splicing. | ||||||
| Isoform c (identifier: Q09509-3) The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows: 1-26: Missing. | ||||||
| Note: No experimental confirmation available. Produced by alternative initiation at Met-27 of isoform a. |
