Human folate receptor alpha (FOLR1) at acidic pH, hexagonal form
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23934049
Disease
[FOLR1_HUMAN] Neurodegenerative syndrome due to cerebral folate transport deficiency. Neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency (NCFTD) [MIM:613068]: A neurodegenerative disorder resulting from brain-specific folate deficiency early in life. Onset is apparent in late infancy with severe developmental regression, movement disturbances, epilepsy and leukodystrophy. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
[FOLR1_HUMAN] Binds to folate and reduced folic acid derivatives and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to the interior of cells.
