Protein Function
Primary vitamin B12-binding and transport protein. Delivers cobalamin to cells.
Background
TCN2 (Transcobalamin II; also TC-2 or TC) is a 42-44 kDa, monomeric, secreted member of the eukaryotic cobalamin transport family of molecules. This gene is mapped to 22q12.2. This gene encodes a member of the vitamin B12-binding protein family. This family of proteins, alternatively referred to as R binders, is expressed in various tissues and secretions. This plasma protein binds cobalamin and mediates the transport of cobalamin into cells. This protein and other mammalian cobalamin-binding proteins, such as transcobalamin I and gastric intrisic factor, may have evolved by duplication of a common ancestral gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
