Background
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],
Function
disease:Defects in CUBN are a cause of recessive hereditary megaloblastic anemia 1 (MGA1) [MIM:261100]; also referred to as MGA1 Norwegian type or Imerslund-Grasbeck syndrome (I-GS). MGA1 is due to selective malabsorption of vitamin B12. Defects in vitamin B12 absorption lead to impaired function of thymidine synthase. As a consequence DNA synthesis is interrupted. Rapidly dividing cells involved in erythropoiesis are particularly affected.,domain:The CUB domains 5 to 8 mediate binding to GIF and ALB. CUB domains 1 and 2 mediate interaction with LRP2.,function:Cotransporter which plays a role in lipoprotein, vitamin and iron metabolism, by facilitating their uptake. Binds to ALB, MB, Kappa and lambda-light chains, TF, hemoglobin, GC, SCGB1A1, APOA1, high density lipoprotein, and the GIF-cobalamin complex. The binding of all ligands required calcium. Serves as important transporter in sev
