Function
Binds vitamin B12 with femtomolar affinity and protects it from the acidic environment of the stomach. Binds to cobalamin and to cobalamin analogs such as cobinamide.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Haptocorrins are a family of cobalamin-binding glycoproteins found in blood, salivary and mucosal secretions
