Type:  Family Name:  Folate transporter 1
Description:  Folate transporter 1 (RFC, also known as SLC19A1) belongs to the reduced folate carrier (RFC) transporter family (). It is a transporter for the intake of folate, reduced folates and methotrexate []. It has a function in folate homeostasis and thus in preventing diseases such as neural tube defects and other birth defects []. Mutations in the SLC19A1 gene have been found to be correlated with various cancers and with variable response to methotrexate and related compounds for rheumatoid arthritis and cancer [].
