Function | Binds to folate and reduced folic acid derivatives and mediates delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folate analogs into the interior of cells. Has high affinity for folate and folic acid analogs at neutral pH. Exposure to slightly acidic pH after receptor endocytosis triggers a conformation change that strongly reduces its affinity for folates and mediates their release. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23934049, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2605182, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4066659}. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Secreted {ECO:0000305}. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in placenta and hematopoietic cells. Expression is increased in malignant tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2605182, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8445646}. |
