Background: The folate receptors consist of five members, α, β, γ, γ’ (which is produced by alternative splicing) and δ. β-FR is attached to the membrane by a GPI anchor and is expressed in malignant tissues of epithelial and nonepithelial origin. γ-FR is expressed in tissues of hematopoietic origin, such as spleen, thymus and bone marrow. The expression pattern of δ-FR is elusive, which suggests that it is highly restricted both spatially and temporally. The α isoform of the folate receptor is used as a highly selective tumor marker and may be targeted for the delivery of therapeutic compounds to tumor cells by coupling to derivatives of folic acid.
