Abstract Background In eukaryotes folate metabolism is compartmentalized and occurs in both the cytosol and the mitochondria. The function of this compartmentalization and the great changes that occur in the mitochondrial compartment during embryonic development and in rapidly growing cancer cells are gradually becoming understood though many aspects remain puzzling and controversial. Approach We explore the properties of cytosolic and mitochondrial folate .
