Enables formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase activity. Involved in 10-formyltetrahydrofolate catabolic process; NADPH regeneration; and folic acid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on fatty acid beta-oxidation. Located in mitochondrion. Used to study metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Orthologous to human ALDH1L2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member L2).
