DHFR: dihydrofolate reductase
1 protein, 177 patents, 9 drugs, 2,071 trials, 5,227 NIH grants and 11,671 papers.
Gene 7
Its symbol and name are HGNC's, unless HGNC and NCBI Gene contradict each other.
Proteins 1
Reviewed human proteins whose Swiss-Prot entry states the gene.
| UniProt entry | Protein | Length | Structures | Gene stated in | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P00374 | Dihydrofolate reductase | 187 | 89 | Ensembl, GeneID, HGNC | UniProt |
Patents 177
Patents whose sequence listing holds the protein exactly: the same sequence, by SHA-256, length and CRC-64. A sequence a patent lists is not always one it claims.
