Function | Receptor for transcobalamin saturated with cobalamin (TCbl) (PubMed:18779389). Plays an important role in cobalamin uptake (PubMed:18779389, PubMed:20524213). Plasma membrane protein that is expressed on follicular dendritic cells (FDC) and mediates interaction with germinal center B cells (PubMed:10727470). Functions as costimulator to promote B cell responses to antigenic stimuli; promotes B cell differentiation and proliferation (PubMed:10727470, PubMed:11418631). Germinal center-B (GC-B) cells differentiate into memory B-cells and plasma cells (PC) through interaction with T-cells and follicular dendritic cells (FDC) (PubMed:11418631). CD320 augments the proliferation of PC precursors generated by IL-10 (PubMed:11418631). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Detected in the germinal center (GC) of lymphoid follicles (at protein level) (PubMed:11418631). Expressed abundantly on follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) (PubMed:10727470) |

Background
The CD320 antigen gene encodes the transcobalamin receptor (TCBLR). Cellular uptake of cobalamin (vitamin B12) is mediated by receptors expressed on the cell surface. Transcobalamin II (TCN2; MIM 613441), a plasma protein secreted by endothelial cells, binds the cobalamin absorbed in the distal ileum and carries 10 to 30% of total circulating cobalamin. CD320 encodes a transcobalamin receptor that binds TCN2-cobalamin at the plasma membrane and internalizes the complex by endocytosis (Quadros et al., 2009 [PubMed 18779389]).
