Cblif Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables cargo receptor ligand activity; cobalamin binding activity; and molecular carrier activity. Involved in cobalamin transport. Is active in extracellular space. Is expressed in gut and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital intrinsic factor deficiency and pernicious anemia. Orthologous to human CBLIF (cobalamin binding intrinsic factor).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cblif often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- vitamin binding
- Eukaryotic cobalamin-binding protein
- binding protein
- Domain of unknown function (DUF4430)
