In enzymology, a methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP ) (EC 1.5.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate NADP 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate NADPH H
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate and NADP , whereas its 3 products are 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate, NADPH, and H .
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with NAD or NADP as acceptor. This enzyme participates in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism and one carbon pool by folate.
Structural studies
[edit]As of late 2007, 8 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1A4I, 1DIA, 1DIB, 1DIG, 1LU9, 1LUA, 2C2X, and 2C2Y.
Clinical significance
[edit]Mutations of the MTHFD1 gene may disrupt the activity of the enzyme and cause methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 deficiency, also known as combined immunodeficiency and megaloblastic anemia with or without hyperhomocysteinemia (CIMAH).
Alternative names
[edit]The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate:NADP oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include N5,N10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate:NADP oxidoreductase, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP).
