Description

Predicted to have FAD binding activity and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (NAD(P)H) activity. Predicted to be involved in methionine biosynthetic process and tetrahydrofolate interconversion. Predicted to localize to cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); cardiovascular system disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and kidney failure (multiple). Is expressed in anterior neural tube; optic cup; and somite. Orthologous to human MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase).
