Recombinant human MTHFS protein

MTHFS, also known as 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase, is a cytosolic protein involved in the formate metabolic process. MTHFS, with a magnesium cofactor, catalyzes the ATP-dependent reaction that reduces 5-formyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) to 5, 10-methenyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) . MTHF is the substrate used by MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) to generate 5-MTHF. MTHF is also a coenzyme used in thymidine biosynthesis by thymidylate synthase (FAD) . Recombinant human MTHFS protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
