FTCD rabbit pAb

catalytic activity:5-formimidoyltetrahydrofolate + L-glutamate = tetrahydrofolate + N-formimidoyl-L-glutamate.,catalytic activity:5-formimidoyltetrahydrofolate = 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate + NH(3).,catalytic activity:5-formyltetrahydrofolate + L-glutamate = tetrahydrofolate + N-formyl-L-glutamate.,cofactor:Pyridoxal phosphate.,disease:Defects in FTCD are the cause of glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency [MIM:229100]; also known as formiminoglutamicaciduria (FIGLU-uria). It is an autosomal recessive disorder. Features of a severe phenotype, include elevated levels of formiminoglutamate (FIGLU) in the urine in response to histidine administration, megaloblastic anemia, and mental retardation. Features of a mild phenotype include high urinary excretion of FIGLU in the absence of histidine administration, mild developmental delay, and no hematological abnormalities.,function:Folate-dependent enzyme, that displays both transferase and deaminase activity. Serves to channel one-carbon units from formiminoglutamate to the folate pool.,pathway:Amino-acid degradation; L-histidine degradation into L-glutamate; L-glutamate from N-formimidoyl-L-glutamate (transferase route): step 1/1.,pathway:One-carbon metabolism; tetrahydrofolate pathway.,similarity:In the C-terminal section; belongs to the cyclodeaminase/cyclohydrolase family.,similarity:In the N-terminal section; belongs to the formiminotransferase family.,subunit:Homooctamer, including four polyglutamate binding sites. The subunits are arranged as a tetramer of dimers, and form a planar ring-shaped structure.,
