Prostate cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system below the bladder. Abnormal growth of prostate...

Folate transporter 1 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC19A1 gene. Transport of folate compounds into mammalian cells can occur via receptor-mediated...

Folate-binding protein (FBP) are proteins that bind folate, typically the folate receptors and reduced folate carrier. FBP can be a marker for ovarian...
