LEISHMANIA MAJOR PTERIDINE REDUCTASE 1 IN COMPLEX WITH NADP AND TETRAHYDROBIOPTERINLEISHMANIA MAJOR PTERIDINE REDUCTASE 1 IN COMPLEX WITH NADP AND TETRAHYDROBIOPTERIN

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 16055151

FunctionFunction

[PTR1_LEIMA] Exhibits a NADPH-dependent biopterin reductase activity. Has good activity with folate and significant activity with dihydrofolate and dihydrobiopterin, but not with quinonoid dihydrobiopterin. Confers resistance to methotrexate (MTX).[1]
