| formyltetrahydrofolate deformylase | <enzyme> From rat or pig liver homogenates; catalyses the conversion of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate and formate; amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 3.5.1.10 Synonym: formyltetrahydrofolate hydrolase, 10-formyltetrahydrofolate amidohydrolase, fthf hydrolase, puru protein, puru gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| formyltetrahydrofolates | Tetrahydrofolates which are substituted by a formyl group at either the nitrogen atom in the 5 position or the nitrogen atom in the 10 position. N(5)-formyltetrahydrofolate is leukovorin (citrovorum factor) while n(10)-formyltetrahydrofolate is an active coenzyme which functions as a carrier of the formyl group in a number of enzymatic reactions.
