Mouse FOLR1, recombinant (C-6His)

Recombinant Mouse Folate Receptor Alpha is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Thr25-Ser232 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. 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]
