Gene: ALDH1L1

Alternate names for this Gene: 10-FTHFDH|10-fTHF|FDH|FTHFD

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+), and water to tetrahydrofolate, NADPH, and carbon dioxide. The encoded protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family. Loss of function or expression of this gene is associated with decreased apoptosis, increased cell motility, and cancer progression. There is an antisense transcript that overlaps on the opposite strand with this gene locus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3q21.3

Description of this Gene: aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member L1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
