| + | '''Pteridine reductase''' (PTR) catalyzes the reduction of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (THBP) to biopterin. PTR is part of pterin and folate metabolism<ref>PMID:12651944</ref>. NADP is the hydrogen acceptor in this reduction. | ||
| - | + | == Relevance == | |
| + | PTR is essential for growth of trypanosomatid protozoans like Leishmania parasites, thus PTR inhibitors like methotrexate (MTX) or triaminoquinazoline (TAQ) are tested as potential drugs. | ||
