According to the guidance, the word âfolateâ will be banned from the Supplement Fact labelsâonly the term âfolic acidâ will be allowed. Folate is the naturally occurring form of the water-soluble vitamin B9. It is found in foods such as black-eyed peas, chickpeas and other beans, lentils, spinach, turnip greens, asparagus, avocado, and broccoli, but is also available as a supplement. The human body needs folate to synthesize and repair its DNA.
Folate biosynthesis. Folic acid, also known as Vitamin B 9 is important to several biological functions. The folate derivative, 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate is essential for the synthesis of dTMP from dUMP and it is therefore crucial for DNA replication and cell division. Tetrahydrofolate is an essential substrate in the biosynthesis of amino acid, glycine. Drugs targeting folate biosynthesis pathway has long been prescribed as anti-malarial agents. The two essential precursors of folate biosynthesis are 4-aminobenzoate (a product of shikimate biosynthesis pathway) and GTP. Thymidylate cycle, a part of folate biosynthesis pathway (below) plays important role in the generation of amino acid glycine and dTMP.
