CUBN cubilin

Gene ID: 8029, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IGS; IFCR; IGS1; MGA1; gp280

Summary

Cubilin (CUBN) acts as a receptor for intrinsic factor-vitamin B12 complexes. The role of receptor is supported by the presence of 27 CUB domains. Cubulin is located within the epithelium of intestine and kidney. Mutations in CUBN may play a role in autosomal recessive megaloblastic anemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
