Background

CD320, also known as the Transcobalamin II receptor (TCblR) and 8D6A, is an approximately 60 kDa transmembrane member of the LDL receptor family (1). Mature mouse CD320 consists of a 180 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain with two cysteine-rich LDLR-A repeats, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 31 aa cytoplasmic domain (2, 3). Within the extracellular domain, mouse CD320 shares 52% aa sequence identity with human and rat CD320. Alternate splicing of mouse CD320 generates an additional isoform with a substitution of the N-terminal 40 aa. CD320 is a heavily glycosylated protein that is expressed as a noncovalent dimer in the kidney, placenta, liver, intestine, and secondary lymphoid organs (3 - 5). It functions as an endocytic receptor for circulating complexes of Cobalamin (Vitamin B₁₂) and Transcobalamin II (3). In the immune system, CD320 is expressed by germinal center B cells and follicular dendritic cells (FDC) and provides a costimulatory signal to B cells during the germinal center reaction (2, 6 - 8). CD320 also cooperates with CD44 in promoting the development of B cell lymphomas (9).
