A frameshift mutation in the cubilin gene (<i><scp>CUBN</scp></i>) in <scp>B</scp>eagles with <scp>I</scp>merslund–<scp>G</scp>räsbeck syndrome (selective cobalamin malabsorption)

Abstract excerpt
Summary Mammals are unable to synthesize cobalamin or vitamin B 12 and rely on the uptake of dietary cobalamin. The cubam receptor expressed on the intestinal endothelium is required for the uptake of cobalamin from the gut. Cubam is composed of two protein subunits, amnionless and cubilin, which are encoded by the AMN and CUBN genes respectively. Loss‐of‐function mutations in either the AMN or the CUBN gene lead...
