NCIt related terms : Liver Cytosol Type 1; LIVER CYTOSOLIC ANTIGEN TYPE 1; LC-1;
NCIt definition : Formimidoyltransferase-cyclodeaminase (541 aa, 59 kDa) is encoded by the human FTCD
gene. This protein plays a role in both the conversion of tetrahydrofolate to 5-formimidoyltetrahydrofolate
and the transfer of a formyl group from 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to L-glutamate.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: An antigen of the human liver 58 kDa cytosolic polypeptide encoded by the FTCD
gene. It can be considered as an autoantigen and is commonly associated with type
2 autoimmune hepatitis.;
NCIt note : Autoantibodies against formimidoyltransferase-cyclodeaminase are associated with autoimmune
hepatitis.; Formimidoyltransferase-cyclodeaminase has both glutamate formimidoyltransferase (EC
2.1.2.5) and formimidoyltetrahydrofolate cyclodeaminase (EC 4.3.1.4) activities.;
