Reaction Schematic and Folate Pathway
| MTHFR = methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase | DHF = dihydrofolate | THF = tetrahydrofolate | |
| 5,10-methylene-THF = 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate |
5-methyl-THF = 5-methyltetrahydrofolate |
MTR = methionine synthase | SAH = S-adenosylhomocysteine |
| NADPH = reduced form of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate | NADP+ = oxidized form of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate | SAM = S-Adenosyl methionine | TS = thymidylate synthase |

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or pathway:
“More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“To learn from our enemies is the best pathway to loving them: for it makes us grateful to them.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
