General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity	5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + NADP+ = 7,8-dihydrofolate + NADPH.
Pathway	Cofactor biosynthesis; tetrahydrofolate biosynthesis; 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate from 7,8-dihydrofolate: step 1/1.
Miscellaneous	The reaction catalyzed by this enzyme represents an essential step for de novo glycine and purine synthesis, DNA precursor synthesis, and for the conversion of dUMP to dTMP.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the dihydrofolate reductase family. Contains 1 DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase) domain.
