- Description
- Exhibits dihydrofolate reductase activity. Involved in folic acid metabolic process; heart contraction; and heart development. Predicted to localize to mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural tube; hematopoietic system; immature eye; nervous system; and neural plate. Orthologous to human DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase) and DHFR2 (dihydrofolate reductase 2).
