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 |
