Function
Promotes absorption of the essential vitamin cobalamin (Cbl) in the ileum. After interaction with CUBN, the CBLIF-cobalamin complex is internalized via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Gastric mucosa
Disease Association: Hereditary intrinsic factor deficiency (IFD) : Autosomal recessive disorder characterized by megaloblastic anemia. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
