Protein-mediated B12 uptake by L1210 lymphoblasts was shown to be calcium dependent and enhanced by TCII but not by TCI in vitro. Subcellular fractionation resulted in the majority of B12 localized in the soluble phase with significant amounts in the mitochondria. All vitamin B12 found in the soluble phase was bound to a protein similar in molecular weight to TCII. This protein was capable of delivering B12 to fresh L1210 cells.
