The vitamin is then transferred to TC2, which serves as the circulating plasma transporter, hereditary defects in the production of TC2 and its receptor may produce functional deficiencies in B 12 and infantile megaloblastic anemia, and abnormal B 12 related biochemistry, even in some cases with normal blood B 12 levels

Finally, data from mouse studies show that IgG accumulates in white adipose tissue in an FcRn-dependent manner, and that knocking down the receptor by an antisense oligonucleotide targeting the encoding FCGRT gene or deleting expression of FcRn from myeloid cellseffectively turning macrophages into degradative sinks for IgG [381]surprisingly improves metabolic function in mice with diet-induced obesity [382]
