Metabolite Identification
Common NameTetrahydrofolyl-[Glu](n)
DescriptionTetrahydrofolyl-[Glu](n), also known as THF-L-glutamic acid or THF-polyglutamate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tetrahydrofolic acids and derivatives. These are heterocyclic compounds based on the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteroic acid skeleton conjugated with at least one L-glutamic acid unit (or a derivative thereof) . In humans, tetrahydrofolyl-[glu](N) is involved in the folate malabsorption, hereditary pathway. Tetrahydrofolyl-[Glu](n) has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make tetrahydrofolyl-[glu](N) a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Tetrahydrofolyl-[Glu](n) is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Tetrahydrofolyl-[Glu](n).

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in tetrahydrofolylpolyglutamate synthase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes conversion of folates to polyglutamate derivatives allowing concentration of folate compounds in the cell and the intracellular retention of these cofactors, which are important substrates for most of the folate-dependent enzymes that are involved in one-carbon transfer reactions involved in purine, pyrimidine and amino acid synthesis. Unsubstitued reduced folates are the preferred substrates. Metabolizes methotrexate (MTX) to polyglutamates.
Gene Name:
FPGS
Uniprot ID:
Q05932
Molecular weight:
59173.37
General function:
Involved in catalytic activity
Specific function:
Hydrolyzes the polyglutamate sidechains of pteroylpolyglutamates. Progressively removes gamma-glutamyl residues from pteroylpoly-gamma-glutamate to yield pteroyl-alpha-glutamate (folic acid) and free glutamate. May play an important role in the bioavailability of dietary pteroylpolyglutamates and in the metabolism of pteroylpolyglutamates and antifolates.
