<meta name="description" content="Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin (1) that is essential for methylation and DNA synthesis. The primary pathway for entry of folate into cells is through the facilitated transporter, which has a low affinity for folate (Michaelis constant (Km) = 1-5 &mu;M). Some cells in the choroid plexus, kidney, lung, thyroid, spleen, placenta, and thymus also possess a higher affinity (dissociation constant (Kd) = 0.5 nM) receptor that allows folate uptake via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Some human epithelial tumor cells were found to overexpress folate-binding protein (2). More than 90% of human ovarian and endometrial cancers express the high-affinity receptor, which is absent in normal tissues. Breast, colorectal, renal, and lung carcinomas also overexpress the folate receptor but at lower frequencies (20-50%). Activated macrophages, but not resting macrophages, have been also found to have folate receptor (3).">

The primary pathway for entry of folate into cells is through the facilitated transporter, which has a low affinity for folate (Michaelis constant (<i>K</i><sub>m</sub>) = 1-5 &#x003bc;M). Some cells in the choroid plexus, kidney, lung, thyroid, spleen, placenta, and thymus also possess a higher affinity (dissociation constant (<i>K</i><sub>d</sub>) = 0.5 nM) receptor that allows folate uptake via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Some human epithelial tumor cells were found to overexpress folate-binding protein (<a class="bibr" href="#Folate18F.REF.2" rid="Folate18F.REF.2">2</a>). More than 90% of human ovarian and endometrial cancers express the high-affinity receptor, which is absent in normal tissues. Breast, colorectal, renal, and lung carcinomas also overexpress the folate receptor but at lower frequencies (20-50%). Activated macrophages, but not resting macrophages, have been also found to have folate receptor (<a class="bibr" href="#Folate18F.REF.3" rid="Folate18F.REF.3">3</a>).</p><p>Several folate-based conjugates (<a href="/books/n/micad/DTPA-folate-111In/?report=reader"><sup>111</sup>In-DTPA-folate</a>, <a href="/books/n/micad/EC-folate-99mTc/?report=reader"><sup>99m</sup>Tc-EC-folate</a> and <a href="/books/NBK23092/" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri"><sup>68/67/66</sup>Ga-DF-folate</a>) have been studied in tumor imaging (<a class="bibr" href="#Folate18F.REF.4" rid="Folate18F.REF.4 Folate18F.REF.5 Folate18F.REF.6 Folate18F.REF.7">4-7</a>).
