1 Mice lacking the folic acid-binding protein Folbp1 are defective in early embryonic development. Folic Acid folate receptor 1 (adult) Mus musculus
2 Previous experiments have identified a folate-binding protein (Folbp1) that functions as a membrane receptor to mediate the high-affinity internalization and delivery of folate to the cytoplasm of the cell. Folic Acid folate receptor 1 (adult) Mus musculus
3 To determine whether Folbp1 is involved in maternal-to-fetal folate transport, we inactivated Folbp1 in mice. Folic Acid folate receptor 1 (adult) Mus musculus
4 Our results suggest that Folbp1 has a critical role in folate homeostasis during development, and that functional defects in the human homologue (FOLR1) of Folbp1 may contribute to similar defects in humans. Folic Acid folate receptor 1 (adult) Mus musculus
5 Our results suggest that Folbp1 has a critical role in folate homeostasis during development, and that functional defects in the human homologue (FOLR1) of Folbp1 may contribute to similar defects in humans. Folic Acid folate receptor 1 (adult) Mus musculus
