Folylpolyglutamate synthase
FunctionFolypolyglutamate synthase (FPGS) is active in intracellular folate homeostasis. Polyglutamated folates are substrates for generation of the primary metyhl group donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)[1]. DiseaseRelevanceFPGS 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[2]. Structural highlightsThis is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
