<meta name="description" content="Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin (1). It is essential for methylation and DNA synthesis. The primary pathway for entry of folate into cells is through a facilitated transporter, which has a low affinity for folate (Km, 1&ndash;5 &mu;M). Some cells in the choroid plexus, kidney, lung, thyroid, spleen, placenta, and thymus also possess a receptor with higher affinity (Kd, 0.5 nM), which allows folate uptake via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Some human epithelial tumor cells were found to overexpress folate receptors (2). More than 90% of human ovarian and endometrial cancers express the high-affinity receptor, which is absent in the normal tissues. Breast, colorectal, renal, and lung carcinomas also overexpressed the high-affinity folate receptor but to a lesser frequency (20%&ndash;50%). Several 99mTc-based folate conjugates have been developed for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of folate receptor expression in tumors such as 99mTc-ethylenedicysteine-folate, 99mTc-HYNIC-Folate, and 99mTc-DTPA-Folate (3). Mishra et al. (4) prepared 99mTc-1,4,7-tris(carboxymethyl)-10-(4-aminoethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-folate (99mTc-DO3A-EA-Folate) as a new 99mTc-based folate conjugate for SPECT imaging studies.">

It is essential for methylation and DNA synthesis. The primary pathway for entry of folate into cells is through a facilitated transporter, which has a low affinity for folate (<i>K</i><sub>m</sub>, 1&#x02013;5 &#x003bc;M). Some cells in the choroid plexus, kidney, lung, thyroid, spleen, placenta, and thymus also possess a receptor with higher affinity (<i>K</i><sub>d</sub>, 0.5 nM), which allows folate uptake <i>via</i> receptor-mediated endocytosis. Some human epithelial tumor cells were found to overexpress folate receptors (<a class="bibr" href="#Folate-DO3A-EA99mTc.REF.2" rid="Folate-DO3A-EA99mTc.REF.2">2</a>). More than 90% of human ovarian and endometrial cancers express the high-affinity receptor, which is absent in the normal tissues. Breast, colorectal, renal, and lung carcinomas also overexpressed the high-affinity folate receptor but to a lesser frequency (20%&#x02013;50%).
