Descriptor in English: Formyltetrahydrofolates
Descriptor in Spanish: Formiltetrahidrofolatos
Descriptor in Portuguese: Formiltetra-Hidrofolatos
Descriptor in French: Formyltétrahydrofolates
Entry term(s): Formyltetrahydrofolic Acids
N(10)-Formyltetrahydrofolate
Tree number(s): D03.633.100.733.631.400.800.350
D08.211.840.300
Scope note: Tetrahydrofolates which are substituted by a formyl group at either the nitrogen atom in the 5 position or the nitrogen atom in the 10 position. N(5)-Formyltetrahydrofolate is leucovorin (citrovorum factor) while N(10)-formyltetrahydrofolate is an active coenzyme which functions as a carrier of the formyl group in a number of enzymatic reactions.
