MTHFS Antibody (YZ-M) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects MTHFS in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). MTHFS, or 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase, is a crucial cytosolic protein that plays a significant role in the formate metabolic process, accounting for up to thirty percent of a cell′s cytoplasmic folate derivatives. MTHFS operates with a magnesium cofactor and catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate, a vital step in the folate cycle. Folate is essential for DNA replication, and a deficiency in this molecule can lead to various disease states, including anemia and neural tube defects. During DNA replication, 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate is oxidized, and MTHFS is responsible for resetting this molecule, thereby ensuring the continuity of the folate cycle and proper synthesis of nucleic acids. Anti-MTHFS antibody (YZ-M) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying folate metabolism and its implications in health and disease.
