Summary: Enables dihydrofolate reductase activity and mRNA binding activity. Involved in dihydrofolate metabolic process and tetrahydrofolate biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Used to study cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Orthologous to several human genes including DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase) and DHFRP1 (dihydrofolate reductase pseudogene 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
