FolateReceptor 1, also known as FOLR1, is a part of the folate receptor family whosemembers bind folic acid. FOLR1 binds to folate and reducedfolic acid derivatives and facilitates transfer of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate andfolate analogs into the cells. FOLR1is either attaches to membranes through a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol linkageor exists in a soluble form. FOLR1 is also needed for embryonicdevelopment and normal cell proliferation.
FOLR1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 233 amino acids (25-234 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 27kDa. FOLR1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
| UniProt Protein Function: | FOLR1: Binds to folate and reduced folic acid derivatives and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to the interior of cells. Defects in FOLR1 are the cause of neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency (NCFTD). NCFTD is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from brain- specific folate deficiency early in life. Onset is apparent in late infancy with severe developmental regression, movement disturbances, epilepsy, and leukodystrophy. Recognition and diagnosis of this disorder is critical because folinic acid therapy can reverse the clinical symptoms and improve brain abnormalities and function. Belongs to the folate receptor family. |

| NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the folate receptor family. Members of this gene family bind folic acid and its reduced derivatives, and transport 5-methyltetrahydrofolate into cells. This gene product is a secreted protein that either anchors to membranes via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol linkage or exists in a soluble form. Mutations in this gene have been associated with neurodegeneration due to cerebral folate transport deficiency. Due to the presence of two promoters, multiple transcription start sites, and alternative splicing, multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
