'''Folypolyglutamate synthase''' (FPGS)  is active in intracellular folate homeostasis.  Polyglutamated folates are substrates for generation of the primary metyhl group donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)<ref>PMID:26895662</ref>.

FPGS status is a predictor of chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-fluorouracil and methotrexate based chemotherapy and FPGS gene transfer may increase the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-FU-based chemotherapy<ref>PMID:15542523</ref>.

The nucleotide -binding pocket of FPGS occupies a narrow channel between the N- and C-terminal domains of the protein and contains the nucleotide and a divalent ion<ref>PMID:18566510</ref>.
This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
