E.coli GIF - optomized
The gene sequence for the human gastric intrinsic factor (GIF), a protein involved in vitamin B12 absorption, has had the codons optimized for expression in an Escherichia coli chassis. Vitamin B12 cannot be directly absorbed into intestinal parietal cells and must first be bound to GIF for transport into the cell. As GIF is normally produced by human cells, the unaltered gene sequence contains codons that are infrequently used in E. coli, affecting the synthesis of the protein, which is why we optimized the gene sequence for codons commonly used by E. coli.
