5-Formiminotetrahydrofolate is an intermediate in the catabolism of histidine. It is produced by glutamate formimidoyltransferase and then converted into 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate by formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase.{{cite journal |author=Fowler B |title=The folate cycle and disease in humans |journal=Kidney Int.
