  2. Vitamin B12 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12

    Gastric acid is needed to release vitamin B 12 from protein for absorption. Reduced secretion of gastric acid and pepsin, from the use of H 2 blocker or proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) drugs, can reduce absorption of protein-bound (dietary) vitamin B 12, although not of supplemental vitamin B 12.

  3. Intrinsic factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_factor

    Intrinsic factor (IF), cobalamin binding intrinsic factor, [5] also known as gastric intrinsic factor (GIF), is a glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells (in humans) or chief cells (in rodents) of the stomach. It is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B 12 later on in the distal ileum of the small intestine. [6]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12_deficiency

    6% (< 60 years old), 20% (> 60 years old) [4] Vitamin B12 deficiency, also known as cobalamin deficiency, is the medical condition in which the blood and tissue have a lower than normal level of vitamin B 12. [5] Symptoms can vary from none to severe. [1] Mild deficiency may have few or absent symptoms. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptocorrin

    Haptocorrin (HC), also commonly known as the R-protein, or the R-factor, or previously referred to as transcobalamin I, is a unique glycoprotein produced by the salivary glands of the oral cavity, in response to ingestion of food. This protein binds strongly to vitamin B 12 in what is an intricate and necessary mechanism to protect this vitamin ...

  6. Transcobalamin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcobalamin

    Transcobalamin I (TC-1), also known as haptocorrin (HC), R-factor, and R-protein is encoded in the human by the TCN1 gene. TC-1 is a glycoprotein produced by the salivary glands of the mouth. It primarily serves to protect cobalamin (Vitamin B12) from acid degradation in the stomach by producing a HC-Vitamin B 12 complex.

  7. Vitamin B12-binding domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12-binding_domain

    structure summary. In molecular biology, the vitamin B12-binding domain is a protein domain which binds to cobalamin (vitamin B12). It can bind two different forms of the cobalamin cofactor, with cobalt bonded either to a methyl group (methylcobalamin) or to 5'-deoxyadenosine (adenosylcobalamin). Cobalamin-binding domains are mainly found in ...
