products description :
Description: Formiminotransferase Cyclodeaminase Human Recombinant (also called liver cytosol type 1) produced in SF9, is a glycosylated, polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 59,749 Dalton.The FTCD is expressed with a -6xHis tag and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Introduction: Formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase is an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of formiminoglutamateand tetrahydrofolateinto formiminotetrahydrofolateand glutamate.Formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase, a bifunctional enzyme of tetrahydrofolate synthesis, is the target antigen of anti-LC1 (liver cytosol antigen type 1) autoantibodies. Presence of LC1 autoantibodies is a marker for type 2 autoimmune hepatitis (for which anti-LKM 1/cytochrome P450 2D6 autoantibodies are a further marker).Serum LC1 autoantibody concentrations appear to fluctuate in parallel with aminotransferase levels, a particularly intriguing observation that suggests a possible role of LC1 autoreactivity in the pathogenic mechanism leading to hepatocyte injury.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a bifunctional enzyme that channels 1-carbon units from formiminoglutamate, a metabolite of the histidine degradation pathway, to the folate pool. Mutations in this gene are associated with glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
uniprot summary :
FTCD: Folate-dependent enzyme, that displays both transferase and deaminase activity. Serves to channel one-carbon units from formiminoglutamate to the folate pool. Defects in FTCD are the cause of glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency (FIGLU-URIA); also known as formiminoglutamicaciduria (FIGLU-uria). It is an autosomal recessive disorder. Features of a severe phenotype, include elevated levels of formiminoglutamate (FIGLU) in the urine in response to histidine administration, megaloblastic anemia, and mental retardation. Features of a mild phenotype include high urinary excretion of FIGLU in the absence of histidine administration, mild developmental delay, and no hematological abnormalities. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Methyltransferase; EC 4.3.1.4; EC 2.1.2.5; Lyase; Cofactor and Vitamin Metabolism - one carbon pool by folate; Amino Acid Metabolism - histidine. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 21q22.3. Cellular Component: centriole; Golgi apparatus; cytoplasm; cytosol. Molecular Function: formimidoyltetrahydrofolate cyclodeaminase activity; glutamate formimidoyltransferase activity; folic acid binding. Biological Process: folic acid and derivative metabolic process; cytoskeleton organization and biogenesis; histidine catabolic process to glutamate and formamide; histidine catabolic process; histidine catabolic process to glutamate and formate. Disease: Formiminotransferase Deficiency
