    Summary
    Enables dihydrofolate reductase activity. Predicted to be involved in dihydrofolate metabolic process; folic acid metabolic process; and tetrahydrofolate biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Orthologous to human DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase); DHFR2 (dihydrofolate reductase 2); and DHFRP1 (dihydrofolate reductase pseudogene 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
