MTHFD1L

The MTHFD1L gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme involved in the folate cycle and one-carbon metabolism, specifically in the conversion of formate to 10-formyl-THF. This process supports purine synthesis and methylation reactions, which are essential for DNA and RNA production and cellular repair. Genetic variations in MTHFD1L can affect mitochondrial folate metabolism and have been associated with an increased risk of neural tube defects, cardiovascular issues, and impaired methylation. It plays a complementary role to the cytosolic MTHFD1 gene but operates within the mitochondria.

Description

What is the function of the MTHFD1L gene?

It encodes a mitochondrial enzyme involved in folate metabolism, aiding methylation and nucleotide synthesis.

How is MTHFD1L different from MTHFD1?

While both are involved in one-carbon metabolism, MTHFD1L functions within the mitochondria, whereas MTHFD1 operates in the cytosol.

What can happen if you have a variant in MTHFD1L?

Variants may disrupt mitochondrial folate metabolism, which could lead to methylation problems or a higher risk of disease.

Is MTHFD1L associated with specific health conditions?

Yes, it has been linked to neural tube defects, cardiovascular diseases, and impaired detoxification or DNA synthesis.
