the processes shown in this pathway include transport reactions by which folates are taken up by cells and moved intracellularly, folate conjugation with glutamate (required for folate retention within a cell), as well as the synthesis of pterines, which are used in folate synthesis. two branches are depicted: pterin synthesis and folate biosynthesis.
