    basic FUNCTION
  • 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase reductase
  • activating cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase
  • regenerating a functional methionine synthase via reductive methylation
  • required for electron transfer from NADP to cytochrome p450 in microsomes

    REGULATION
    ASSOCIATED DISORDERS
    corresponding disease(s) MTRRD
    Susceptibility
  • risk factor for neural tube defect, NTD, (combined with low cobalamin)
  • to coronary artery disease (CAD)
  • to migraine with aura
    • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • 66A>G exert a protective effect on neural tube defect
  • MTRR variants may protect against migraine with aura in an older population
  • MTRR A66G polymorphism, but not MTR A2756G, is significantly associated with maternal risk for NTDs in Caucasians
    • Candidate gene
