General description

Folic acid (FA)/pterylmonoglutamic acid helps to block neural tube defects (NTDs).

Application

Folic acid has been used:
  • to study the role of vitamins and amino acids on hybridoma growth and monoclonal antibody production
  • in cells and treatments
  • in perforin gene targeting using the CRISPR/Cas gene editing approach

Biochem/physiol Actions

A nutritional delivery form of folate. Folic acid and its derivatives are essential mediators of one-carbon metabolism within cells.
