Folate receptor overexpression induces toxicity in a diet-dependent manner in C. elegans

Abstract Folate receptor (FR) alpha (FOLR1) and beta (FOLR2) are membrane-anchored folate transporters that are expressed at low levels in normal tissues, while their expression is strongly increased in several cancers. Intriguingly, although the function of these receptors in, for example, developm...
