What it does, reaction by reaction

1 reactions

One-Carbon Metabolism (Folate Cycle) Amino Acid & Nitrogen Metabolism · Cytosol + mitochondrion

step 4 Reversible

5,10-Methenyl-THF + H₂O ⇌ 10-formyl-THF

Converts 5,10-Methenyl-THF H2O into 10-Formyl-THF

Notes

The cyclohydrolase activity of MTHFD1 (or mitochondrial MTHFD enzymes) converts the methenyl to the formyl oxidation state. This reversible hydration supplies 10-formyl-THF for purine biosynthesis.
