TCN1 transcobalamin 1

Gene ID: 6947, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HC; TC1; TCI; TC-1

Summary

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 protein is a major constituent of secondary granules in neutrophils and facilitates the transport of cobalamin into cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
