Description
L-Methylfolate, or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, is a biologically active form of vitamin B9, essential for numerous cellular processes. Chemically, it is a water-soluble compound with the molecular formula C19H24N8O6. It exists as a chiral molecule, with the L-isomer being the biologically relevant form. L-Methylfolate is a yellow to orange-yellow crystalline powder, typically odorless and highly hygroscopic, readily absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. Its texture is fine and crystalline.As a methyl donor, L-Methylfolate plays a pivotal role in DNA synthesis, amino acid metabolism, and homocysteine remethylation. Unlike folic acid, its synthetic counterpart, L-Methylfolate bypasses the conversion steps required for cellular utilization, offering superior bioavailability.
