SHMT1, belongs to the SHMT family. This protein is cellular form of serine hydroxymethyltransferase, a pyridoxal phosphate-containing enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of serine and tetrahydrofolate to glycine and 5 10-methylene tetrahydrofolate. Also, SHMT1 preferentially supplies one-carbon units for thymidylate biosynthesis, depletes methylenetetrahydrofolate pools for S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthesis by synthesizing serine, sequesters 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and inhibits. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-483 from human SHMT1, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E.coli.
