other info1 :
Biological Significance: Intrinsic factor (IF) also known as gastric intrinsic factor (GIF) is a glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells of the stomach. It is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 later on in the terminal ileum. In humans, the gastric intrinsic factor protein is encoded by the GIF gene.

uniprot summary :
GIF: Promotes absorption of the essential vitamin cobalamin (Cbl) in the ileum. After interaction with CUBN, the GIF-cobalamin complex is internalized via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Defects in GIF are the cause of hereditary intrinsic factor deficiency (IFD); also known as congenital pernicious anemia. IFD is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by megaloblastic anemia. Belongs to the eukaryotic cobalamin transport proteins family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11q13. Cellular Component: extracellular space; lysosomal lumen; microvillus; apical plasma membrane; extracellular region; endosome. Molecular Function: cobalamin binding. Biological Process: vitamin metabolic process; cobalamin metabolic process; cobalamin transport; cobalt ion transport; water-soluble vitamin metabolic process. Disease: Intrinsic Factor Deficiency
