Summary
Enables dihydrofolate reductase activity. Acts upstream of or within folic acid metabolic process; heart contraction; and heart development. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural tube; hematopoietic system; immature eye; nervous system; and neural plate. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Orthologous to several human genes including DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase).

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.
