coverture (sh) and tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (medicine)


coverture (sh)




In law, the inclusion of a woman in the legal person of her husband upon Marriage.

Because of coverture, married women formerly lacked the legal capacity to hold their own property or to contract on their own behalf (see contract); similarly, a husband's tax payments or jury duty "covered" his wife as well. Aspects of coverture survived well into the 20th century; the term is still used in law when dividing jointly held property in Divorce proceedings.


tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (medicine)


tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase
<enzyme> An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyses the reaction 7,8-dihyrofolate and NADPH to yield 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate and NADPH+, producing reduced folate for amino acid metabolism, purine ring synthesis, and the formation of deoxythymidine monophosphate. Methotrexate and Other folic acid antagonists used as chemotherapeutic drugs act by inhibiting this enzyme.

Chemical name: 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrofolate:NADP+ oxidoreductase

Registry number: EC 1.5.1.3
