Gene Information

human ... MTHFR(4524)

General description

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase or 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (EC 1.5.1.20; UniProt P42898) is encoded by the MTHFR gene (Gene ID 4524) in human. MTHFR catalyzes the reduction of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the predominant circulatory form of folate and carbon donor for the re-methylation of homocysteine to methionine. Defects in MTHFR cause plasma homocysteine elevation or hperhomocysteinaemia, a risk factor for cerebrovascular, peripheral vascular, and coronary heart disease. Multiple transcription start sites and alternative splicing in the MTHFR gene result in two enzyme isoforms.

~70/77 kDa observed. Uncharacterized band(s) may appear in some lysates.

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected MTHFR in mice plasma, kidney and brain (Chew, T.W., et al. (2011). J. Nutr. 141(8):1475-1481.).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected MTHFR in porcine liver, human lymphocytes, human fetal kidney, human adult kidney, cells transfected with MTHFR (Rozen, R. U.S. Patent 6,833,243 B2, December 21, 2004).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected MTHFR in HepG2, mouse liver, and RAW264.7 (Mikael, L.G., and Rozen, R. (2008). Cardiovasc. Res. 80(1):151-158).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected recombinant MTHFR protein, as well as endogenous MTHFR in human kidney (both fetal & adult), fetal human lung, and adult human aorta (Tran, P., et al. (2002). Mamm. Genome. 13(9):483-492).

Biochem/physiol Actions

A major focus of breast cancer research is to understand the mechanisms responsible for disease progression and drug resistance. Toward that end, it has been found that approximately two thirds of all human breast carcinomas overexpress the Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) protein and it remains the primary pharmacological target for endocrine therapy1,2. The normal cellular function of ERα is as a transcription factor that mediates a wide variety of physiological processes, many of which are dependent upon phosphorylation of the receptor at specific amino acid residues3,4. Indeed, ERα is known to be phosphorylated at a multitude of different sites, yet how these all correlate to disease remains unclear5. Here, we interrogated multiple sites of ERα for phosphorylation status by screening an extensive panel of different breast cancer patient samples and other non-breast cancer tissue microarray (TMA) slide samples to determine their relevance to disease.
