In enzymology a deoxycytidylate 5-hydroxymethyltransferase (EC 2.1.2.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction510-methylenetetrahydrofolate + H2O + deoxycytidylate tetrahydrofolate + 5-hydroxymethyldeoxycytidylateThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are 510-methylenetetrahydrofolate H2O and deoxycytidylate whereas its two products are tetrahydrofolate and 5-hydroxymethyldeoxycytidylate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases that transfer one-carbon groups specifically the hydroxymethyl- formyl- and related transferases.
