Folate receptor
IPR004269
Definition
Folic acid and its reduced derivatives are transported via two widely expressed transporters, the reduced folate carrier (RFC) and the proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT), and via a family of glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored receptors with limited expression profiles known as folate receptors (FRs) PMID:23934049. Folate receptors (FR) are high affinity receptors that transport folate via endocytosis. Human FR exists in three isoforms, alpha and beta equipped with GPI anchors, and gamma not possessing a GPI anchor PMID:8839936.
