Application
Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is involved in the synthesis of purines, thymidine and glycine in folate metabolism. DHFR, from bovine liver, is used for methotrexate analysis . DHFR is useful to study various cancers such as sarcomas, leukemias and head and neck cancers .
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) reduces dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid, using NADPH as an electron donor. The binding of antitumor agents, such as methotrexate, to DHFR prevents the formation of reduced folates, which are essential for DNA synthesis .
Other Notes
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which converts 1 μmol 7,8-dihydrofolate and NADPH to 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate and NADP per minute at pH 6.5 and 25 °C

Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR; EC 1.5.1.3) is required in folate metabolism for the synthesis of purines, thymidine, and glycine. Although there have been several reports of induction of DHFR enzyme by methotrexate (MTX), a drug that competitively inhibits DHFR, there are

Methotrexate was determined by the homogeneous enzyme immunoassay (EMIT) with the Multistat and CentrifiChem centrifugal analyzers and by the enzyme inhibition assay with use of the Multistat centrifugal analyzer. With both methods, the standard curve extends from 0.2 to 2.0

Association and degradation of protein complexes play essential role in a majority of normal and pathologic processes, which take place in living cell. Studying the underlying mechanisms of those interactions would give deeper understanding of specific causes of disease progression

Pemetrexed inhibits three key folate enzymes: thymidylate synthetase (TYMS), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT). The relationship between the clinical efficacy of pemetrexed and the expression of folate enzymes in lung cancer cells is unknown. The purpose of
