Descriptor English: Formyltetrahydrofolates
Descriptor Spanish: Formiltetrahidrofolatos
Descriptor formiltetrahidrofolatos
Entry term(s) N(10)-formiltetrahidrofolato
ácidos formiltetrahidrofólicos
Scope note: Tetrahidrofolatos sustituidos por un grupo formilo en el átomo de nitrógeno en posición 5 o en el átomo de nitrógeno en posición 10. El N(5)-formiltetrahidrofolato es la leucovorina (factor citrovorum), en tanto que el N(10)-formiltetrahidrofolato es una coenzima activa que funciona como portadora del grupo formilo en diversas reacciones enzimáticas.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005575
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.
