Folic Acid Pathway Rescue
- Molecular classification
- Metabolic Pathway, Epigenetic Regulation, Vitamin Derivative
01
Overview
Folic acid pathway rescue refers to the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which folic acid (vitamin B9) or its derivatives restore or compensate for impaired folate-dependent metabolic processes. This concept is most commonly discussed in the context of preventing neural tube defects, counteracting the toxic effects of antifolate drugs, and supporting DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation. Rescue occurs by supplying exogenous folic acid or its active forms to bypass metabolic blocks, influence histone modifications, and restore DNA methylation status.
