Cubn - cubilin (intrinsic factor-cobalamin receptor)

Predicted to enable several functions, including cargo receptor activity; hemoglobin binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within lipoprotein transport; receptor-mediated endocytosis; and response to bacterium. Located in several cellular components, including brush border; clathrin-coated pit; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including egg cylinder; embryo endoderm; midgut; and renal proximal tubule. Orthologous to human CUBN (cubilin).
