UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: O60494 (O60494)
Gene Name:
CUBN
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Endocytic receptor which plays a role in lipoprotein, vitamin and iron metabolism by facilitating their uptake (PubMed:10371504, PubMed:11606717, PubMed:11717447, PubMed:14576052, PubMed:9572993). Acts together with LRP2 to mediate endocytosis of high-density lipoproteins, GC, hemoglobin, ALB, TF and SCGB1A1. Acts together with AMN to mediate endocytosis of the CBLIF-cobalamin complex (PubMed:14576052, PubMed:9572993). Binds to ALB, MB, Kappa and lambda-light chains, TF, hemoglobin, GC, SCGB1A1, APOA1, high density lipoprotein, and the CBLIF-cobalamin complex. Ligand binding requires calcium (PubMed:9572993). Serves as important transporter in several absorptive epithelia, including intestine, renal proximal tubules and embryonic yolk sac. May play an important role in the development of the peri-implantation embryo through internalization of APOA1 and cholesterol. Binds to LGALS3 at the maternal-fetal interface
