CD14 helps immune cells recognize microbial components, including bacterial lipopolysaccharide, as part of innate immune signaling. This places it upstream of some cytokine responses.

DHFR helps reduce folic acid and dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate-related forms used in cellular metabolism. This is one part of the folate system, distinct from MTHFR and folate transport into cells.
Also called: Dihydrofolate Reductase

ESR1 encodes estrogen receptor alpha, which helps cells respond to estrogen. Receptor signaling is different from the amount of estrogen measured in blood.
Also called: Estrogen Receptor 1
Estrogen signaling depends on the receptor

…ters include FOLH1 in folate handling. The earlier genetics reference explains its role in breaking down polyglutamated food folates into forms that can be absorbed. This is a different step from MTHFR conversion or SLC19A1 transport into c…
FOLR1 encodes folate receptor alpha, which helps cells take up folate and has an important role in folate transport at the brain’s barriers. Blood folate and folate availability in the nervous system are not identical measurements.
