| formyltetrahydrofolate |
any derivative of tetrahydrofolate that carries a formyl group substitution. The 5-formyl derivative is folinic acid (q.v.); the 10-formyl derivative is important in purine synthesis and in the liver-mediated release of excess one-carbon units.

| formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase |
[EC 1.5.1.6] an enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate to produce tetrahydrofolate, using NADP+as an electron acceptor. The reaction occurs in liver to release excess active one-carbon fragments and maintain sufficient tetrahydrofolate for metabolism.
