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:
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“And open field, through which the pathway wound,
And homeward led my steps. Magnificent
The morning rose, in memorable pomp,
Glorious as e’er I had beheld—in front,
The sea lay laughing at a distance; near,
The solid mountains shone, bright as the clouds,
Grain-tinctured, drenched in empyrean light;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
