Entrez Gene summary for DHFR:
Dihydrofolate reductase converts dihydrofolate into tetrahydrofolate, a methyl group shuttle required for the de novo
synthesis of purines, thymidylic acid, and certain amino acids. While the functional dihydrofolate reductase gene has
been mapped to chromosome 5, multiple intronless processed pseudogenes or dihydrofolate reductase-like genes have been
identified on separate chromosomes. Dihydrofolate reductase deficiency has been linked to megaloblastic anemia.
(provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: DYR_HUMAN, P00374
Function: Key enzyme in folate metabolism. Contributes to the de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis pathway.
Catalyzes an essential reaction for de novo glycine and purine synthesis, and for DNA precursor synthesis. Binds its
own mRNA and that of DHFRL1

summary for DHFR:
Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is a member of the reductase family of enzymes that is ubiquitously expressed
in all organisms. It catalyzes tetrahydrofolate regeneration by reduction of dihydrofolate, using NADPH as a
cofactor. Tetrahydrofolate is essential for de novo purine and thymidylate synthesis, hence DHFR has a
critical role in cell growth and proliferation. DHFR is the target for many anticancer and antibiotic
therapies including methotrexate and trimethoprim. Basal and regulated DHFR gene expression is controlled by
Sp1 and E2F family transcription factors respectively and levels of this enzyme peak at the G1/S cell cycle
boundary. Autoregulation, through DHFR-RNA interactions, has also been reported. The human gene encoding
this enzyme is localized to 5q11.2-13.2.

  • Defects in DHFR are the cause of megaloblastic anemia due to dihydrofolate reductase deficiency (DHFRD)
  • [MIM:613839]. DHFRD is an inborn error of metabolism, characterized by megaloblastic anemia and/or pancytopenia,
    severe cerebral folate deficiency, and cerebral tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency. Clinical features include variable
    neurologic symptoms, ranging from severe developmental delay and generalized seizures in infancy, to childhood absence
    epilepsy with learning difficulties, to lack of symptoms
