Comments	Folate hydrolase is also known as NAALADase as it is responsible for the hydrolysis of N‐acetaspartylglutamate to form N‐acetylaspartate and L‐glutamate (http://www.guidetopharmacology.org/GRAC/LigandDisplayForward?ligandId=1369). In the gut, the enzyme assists in the assimilation of folate by hydrolysing dietary poly‐gamma‐glutamylfolate. The enzyme is highly expressed in the prostate, and its expression is up‐regulated in cancerous tissue. A tagged version of the antibody http://www.guidetopharmacology.org/GRAC/LigandDisplayForward?ligandId=6878 has been used for imaging purposes.
