Description

L-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrofolic acid, a folic acid derivative, which is a coenzyme in many reactions, especially in the metabolism of amino acids and nucleic acids.


(6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid is a derivative of folic acid in which the pteridine ring is fully reduced; it is the parent compound of a variety of coenzymes that serve as carriers of one-carbon groups in metabolic reactions. It has a role as a cofactor. It is a conjugate acid of a (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate(2-).
