In enzymology a formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction10-formyltetrahydrofolate + NADP+ + H2O tetrahydrofolate + CO2 + NADPH + H+The 3 substrates of this enzyme are 10-formyltetrahydrofolate NADP+ and H2O whereas its 4 products are tetrahydrofolate CO2 NADPH and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases to be specific those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
