Biological function summary
ALDH1L1 is involved in the one-carbon metabolism pathway contributing to the conversion of formyl groups into CO2. This reaction aids in regulating cellular homeostasis and energy production. Within the biological context ALDH1L1 works independently and does not form a large complex but efficiently interacts with other enzymes involved in folate transformations. Its activity ensures proper folate cycle functioning supporting DNA synthesis and repair.
Pathways
ALDH1L1 importantly integrates into the folate metabolism pathway supporting detoxification and nucleotide biosynthesis. In this pathway ALDH1L1 interacts with the MTHFD1 protein to maintain the balance of one-carbon units necessary for nucleic acid synthesis. Furthermore ALDH1L1 interplays within the methionine cycle influencing the methylation processes important for gene expression and epigenetic regulation.
