FTCD formimidoyltransferase cyclodeaminase

Gene ID: 10841, updated on 4-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LCHC1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a bifunctional enzyme that channels 1-carbon units from formiminoglutamate, a metabolite of the histidine degradation pathway, to the folate pool. Mutations in this gene are associated with glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
