Binds to folate and reduced folic acid derivatives and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folate analogs into the interior of cells. Has high affinity for folate and folic acid analogs at neutral pH. Exposure to slightly acidic pH after receptor endocytosis triggers a conformation change that strongly reduces its affinity for folates and mediates their release. Required for normal embryonic development and normal cell proliferation. Required for renal folate reabsorption. .
Background
Folate receptor 1 adult is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FOLR1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the folate receptor (FOLR) family. It is mapped to 11q13.4. FOLR1 expression in Jurkat cells facilitated MBG or EBO entry, and FR-blocking reagents inhibited infection of MBG or EBO. This gene product is a secreted protein that either anchors to membranes via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol linkage or exists in a soluble form. The FOLR1 gene encodes the adult folate receptor, or folate-binding protein (FBP), which has a high affinity for folic acid and for several reduced folic acid derivatives, and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to the interior of cells. FOLR1 is also an important regulator of milk protein synthesis.
