NCIt definition : Human CBLIF wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11q12.1 and is approximately
16 kb in length. This allele, which encodes cobalamin binding intrinsic factor protein,
plays a role in recognition of cobalamin in the digestive tract and targeting it for
endocytosis. Mutations in the gene are associated with congenital pernicious anemia
due to intrinsic factor deficiency.;
