gene: mthf-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable FAD binding activity and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (NAD(P)H) activity. Predicted to be involved in methionine biosynthetic process and tetrahydrofolate interconversion. Expressed in muscle cell and tail. Used to study lipid metabolism disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and liver disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase).
