Background
This gene encodes a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial bifunctional enzyme with methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase and methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase activities. The enzyme functions as a homodimer and is unique in its absolute requirement for magnesium and inorganic phosphate. Formation of the enzyme-magnesium complex allows binding of NAD. Alternative splicing results in two different transcripts, one protein-coding and the other not protein-coding. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 7. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009],
Function
catalytic activity:5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate + H(2)O = 10-formyltetrahydrofolate.,catalytic activity:5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate + NAD(+) = 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate + NADH.,cofactor:Magnesium.,developmental stage:Expressed only in developing normal tissues.,miscellaneous:This NAD-dependent bifunctional enzyme has very different kinetic properties than the larger NADP-dependent trifunctional enzyme and is unique in that it requires formation of an enzyme-magnesium complex to allow binding of NAD.,similarity:Belongs to the tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase family.,subunit:Homodimer.,
