The CD320 antigen gene encodes the transcobalamin receptor
(TCBLR). Cellular uptake of cobalamin (vitamin B12) is mediated by
receptors expressed on the cell surface. Transcobalamin II (TCN2;
MIM 613441), a plasma protein secreted by endothelial cells, binds
the cobalamin absorbed in the distal ileum and carries 10 to 30% of
total circulating cobalamin. CD320 encodes a transcobalamin
receptor that binds TCN2-cobalamin at the plasma membrane and
internalizes the complex by endocytosis (Quadros et al., 2009
[PubMed 18779389]).1) Jiang, W., et al. Gene 466 (1-2), 49-55 (2010) :
