Bioactivity | Tetrahydrofolic acid (L-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrofolic acid) is the biologically active vitamin B9 folate derivative. Tetrahydrofolic acid is a donor of one-carbon groups for amino acids, nucleic acids, and lipids. Tetrahydrofolic acid serves as an acceptor of free formaldehyde, producing 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate-Tetrahydrofolic acid[1]. |
Invitro | Tetrahydrofolic acid (0-200 µM; 3 days; Adh5-/- DT40 cells) exposure is cytotoxic to Adh5- and Fanconi anemia (FA)-deficient cells due to the accumulation of extensive DNA damage and chromosome breaks[1].Tetrahydrofolic acid (0-100 µM; 16 hours; Adh5-/- DT40 cells) treatment strongly promots FANCD2 and ser139-H2AX focus formation in Adh5-/- cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].Tetrahydrofolic acid exposure activates the DNA damage response (DDR) due to uncontrolled activity of the thymidylate synthase enzyme, which causes a depletion of essential nucleotides, and promotes repair by a homologous recombination mechanism[1].
