    Summary
    Enables methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (NAD(P)H) activity. Acts upstream of or within methionine biosynthetic process. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; cranium; heart; sensory organ; and testis. Used to study neural tube defect. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); cardiovascular system disease (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and liver disease (multiple). Orthologous to human MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks a segment of the 3' region, compared to variant 1. This variant has an intact ORF compared to variant 1, but it is represented as non-coding because it is a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) candidate due to the presence of an intron at the 3' end.
