Primary Identifier | MGI:1202394 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 14603 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cargo receptor ligand activity and cobalamin binding activity. Involved in cobalamin transport. Is active in extracellular space. Is expressed in gut and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital intrinsic factor deficiency and pernicious anemia. Orthologous to human CBLIF (cobalamin binding intrinsic factor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit vitamin B12-sensitive susceptibility to bacterial infection and reduced body weight and altered blood chemistry that can be compensated by maternal effect.
