Intrinsic Factor

Intrinsic factor (IF), cobalamin binding intrinsic factor, also known as gastric intrinsic factor (GIF), is a glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells (in humans) or chief cells (in rodents) of the stomach. It is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 later on in the distal ileum of the small intestine. In humans, the gastric intrinsic factor protein is encoded by the CBLIF gene. Haptocorrin (transcobalamin I) is another glycoprotein secreted by the salivary glands which binds to vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is acid-sensitive and in binding to haptocorrin it can safely pass through the acidic stomach to the duodenum.In the less acidic environment of the small intestine, pancreatic enzymes digest the glycoprotein carrier and vitamin B12 can then bind to in… more »

I'm just here nestled in the ranks
Fuel burning on an empty tank
How much longer will I wait
I feel my time is far too late
No one will ever hear my songs
This endless weight I dwell upon
Bleak ladders, climbing empty rungs
And all I hear is the sound of guns
The clock goes tic tic in my brain
Wish I could go against the grain
These shadowed halls are my domain
My shadow is my weathervane
The silhouettes will pull me through
Marionnettes will clear my view
And if my path is set askew
My thoughts will soon revert to you
You are a fickle one indeed
Constantly increasing your speed
Or clever, hiding in the reeds
You never were a faithful breed
The dogs are howling at my door
Constantly demanding more
Oh how I'd like to settle the score
With all of this behind us
There's still pain to remind us of our war
It's coming on strong
I will change my ways
And never rest on holidays
Let's start a war
It's coming strong
What pleasure we can find
In the corners of our wind
Let's start a war
So saddle up we got miles to go
Rising fast so you'll never know
I've still got a fingerhold
On the proof that I'm not trapped below
So strap in and start the car
For this is the day we raise the bar
We've still got our broken hearts
But we've got our songs and that's a start
So say hello to a brand new day
And start thinking of what to say
I don't know what to say
To the clever hurdles that come my way because
I'm just here nestled in the ranks
Fuel burning on an empty tank
How much longer will I wait
I feel my time is far too late
The silhouettes will pull me through
Marionnettes will clear my view
And if my path is set askew
My thoughts will soon revert to you
With all of this behind us
There's still pain to remind us of our war
It's coming on strong
And how could I forget
Things that haven't happened yet
Let's start a war
I will change my ways
And never rest on holidays
Let's start a war
It's coming, it's coming
What pleasure we can find
In the corners of our wind
Let's start a war
