General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase stereospecifically removes the pro-S hydrogen from the 4-position of NADPH. The oxidation of NADPH is largely or entirely rate limiting in the reductive half-reaction and in NADPH-menadione oxidoreductase turnover at saturating menadione concentration Sus scrofa
