Mouse FOLR1 ELISA Kit

Natural and recombinant mouse FOLR1. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. Protein function: Binds to folate and reduced folic acid derivatives and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folate analogs into the interior of cells. Has high affinity for folate and folic acid analogs at neutral pH. Exposure to slightly acidic pH after receptor endocytosis triggers a conformation change that strongly reduces its affinity for folates and mediates their release. Required for normal embryonic development and normal cell proliferation. Required for renal folate reabsorption. [The UniProt Consortium]
