| PF01812 | 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase family | family |
5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase or methenyl-THF synthetase EC:6.3.3.2 catalyses the interchange of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate (5-FTHF) to 5-10-methenyltetrahydrofolate, this requires ATP and Mg2+ [1]. 5-FTHF is used in chemotherapy where it is clinically known as Leucovorin [2].
