It is produced from 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate by either a NAD+ dependent methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, or a NADP+ dependent dehydrogenase.[1] It can also be produced as an intermediate in histidine catabolism, by formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase, from 5-formiminotetrahydrofolate.
5,10-CH=THF is a substrate for methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase, which converts it into 10-formyltetrahydrofolate.
