MeSH definition : Tetrahydrofolates which are substituted by a formyl group at either the nitrogen atom
in the 5 position or the nitrogen atom in the 10 position. N(5)-Formyltetrahydrofolate
is leukovorin (citrovorum factor) while N(10)-formyltetrahydrofolate is an active
coenzyme which functions as a carrier of the formyl group in a number of enzymatic
reactions.; Tetrahydrofolates which are substituted by a formyl group at either the nitrogen atom
