CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm

basic FUNCTION	catalyzing the conversion of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate, NADP and water to tetrahydrofolate, NADPH and carbon dioxide
	induces phosphorylation of TP53 at Ser6, which is a required step in the activation of apoptosis
	induces phosphorylation of MAPK8 and MAPK9
	folate enzyme with tumor suppressor-like properties that inhibits cell motility
