Summary: Enables NADP binding activity; flavin adenine dinucleotide binding activity; and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (NAD(P)H) activity. Involved in several processes, including homocysteine metabolic process; response to interleukin-1; and response to vitamin B2. Biomarker of hyperthyroidism; hypothyroidism; and liver benign neoplasm. 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, Nov 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.
