Tetrahydrofolate synthase
In enzymology, a tetrahydrofolate synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, tetrahydropteroyl-n, and L-glutamate, whereas its 3 products are ADP, phosphate, and tetrahydropteroyl-n+1.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is tetrahydropteroyl-gamma-polyglutamate:L-glutamate gamma-ligase . This enzyme participates in folate biosynthesis.
