Term Description

The fraction of vitamin B12 bound to transcobalamin II (TC-II), normally <30% of the total, is considered the "active" fraction available to cells. There have been claims in the literature that measurement of specifically the "active" fraction is an earlier indicator of deficiency, although as of 2011 this claim is reported to be controversial (Am J Clin Nutr. 2011 Jul;94(1):348S-358S. Epub 2011 May 18).

Part Description

LP156140-8   Holo-transcobalamin II
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is bound to 2 proteins in plasma, transcobalamin I (TC-1, sometimes called haptocorrin) and transcobalamin II (TC-II, called transcobalamin by those who use the term haptocorrin for transcobalamin I). TC-II saturated with vitamin B12 is known as holo-transcobalamin II (holo-TC-II) or "active" vitamin B12, which can be delivered into all DNA-synthesizing cells. Vitamin B12 bound to TC-1 (hapatocorrin) is unavailable in our metabolism. Apo-transcobalamin I and II (apo-TC-II and apo-TC-II) are unsaturated with vitamin b12. They play a role in the enterohepatic (re)cycling of cobalamin and are measured to diagnose the cause of a deficiency in B12. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
