Intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor (IF), also known as gastric intrinsic factor (GIF), is a glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells of the stomach. It is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) later on in the small intestine. In humans, the gastric intrinsic factor protein is encoded by the GIF gene.
Intrinsic factor is a glycoprotein released by parietal cells that line the internal surface of your stomach. Without intrinsic factor, your body can only absorb about 1 percent of the B-12 you ingest. With the help of intrinsic factor, this amount increases to 56 percent of a 1 microgram dosage of B-12. However, Intrinsic factor has its limits.
