Background
Gastric Intrinsic Factor (GIF) also known as Intrinsic Factor (IF) is a 45-55 kDa glycoprotein that is secreted by parietal cells of the gastric mucosa. GIF is a member of the eukaryotic cobalamin (Cbl or Vitamin B12) family of transport proteins that mediate the uptake of cobalamin by intestinal epithelial cells lining the ileum (1). GIF comprises two domains, an alpha and a beta -domain containing approximatively 270 and 110 residues respectively (2). Cobalamin binds to GIF at the interface of the alpha and beta domains (2). The Cbl-GIF complex can then interact with its specific receptor, Cubilin, through the amino-terminal portion of GIF (3). This complex associates with Amnionless (AMN) which directs subcellular localization and endocytosis of Cubilin and its ligands (4). Homozygous nonsense and missense mutations in the GIF gene have been linked to hereditary juvenile megaloblastic anemia. These patients show nutritional cobalamin insufficiency due to its intestinal malabsorption (5). Mature human GIF shares 82% and 79% amino acid sequence identity with mouse GIF and rat GIF respectively.
