| Modification Notes | Reduced folate carrier protein (RFC-1), also designated folate transporter 1, placental folate transporter (FOLT), or intestinal folate carrier (IFC-1), is a multi-pass membrane protein that acts as a transporter for folate intake. In human placental choriocarcinoma cells, folate intake occurs via potocytosis, a mechanism that couples three components: folate receptor, folate transporter and a H(+)-pump. RFC-1 is a heavily glycosylated protein that is primarily detected in liver and placenta. RFC-1 mediates the uptake of methotrexate (MTX), the antifolate drug widely used as both an anticancer chemotherapeutic drug and as an immunosuppressive agent. MTX mimics natural folates to inhibit critical cellular biosynthetic pathways. |
