'''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>. | '''Folypolyglutamate synthase''' (FPGS) is active in intracellular folate homeostasis.
