Contributes to tetrahydrofolate metabolism. Helps regulate carbon flow through the folate-dependent one-carbon metabolic network that supplies carbon for the biosynthesis of purines, thymidine and amino acids. Catalyzes the irreversible conversion of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate (5-FTHF) to yield 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa2-203 from human MTHFS, fused to His-SUMO-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
