Gene Symbol FPGS
Synonyms
Gene Description FPGS, folylpolyglutamate synthase, is an enzyme that is essential to maintaining intracellular folate homeostasis by forming polyglutamated folates from folate monoglutamates (PMID: 25164808, PMID: 36721160), and plays a role in methotrexate sensitivity (PMID: 8408021, PMID: 26547381). Mutations in FPGS have been identified in relapsed pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PMID: 32694622), alternative splicing of FPGS has been observed in adult and pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PMID: 19131550, PMID: 26547381, PMID: 27036162), and increased expression of Fpgs has been observed in colon cancer (PMID: 39998667).
