If we have genes for the cobalamine synthase, (actually several of them) does it mean we can synthesize our own B12, as long as there is some free cobalt in our food?

We alreadt do, but in a stage where it's too late for our body to absorb it. It's in our feces.

It can't be absorbed, retard.

What can't be absorbed? Cobalt?

No, that's gut bacteria.

No, the B12 made by the extrinsic factor

The point is it's the bacteria. I'm asking if we can synthesize it using free cobalt, using our own cobalamine synthase. Not bacteria.
>>11547425
No idea what you mean, extrinsic factor is an antique name for B12.

I thought intrinsic factor was the ability to absorb B12 from food and extrinsic factor was what OP described

So all the other processes in our body involving bacteria are also not "us"? Symbiosis is not a thing?

Need to see the expression of those genes in a tissue specific manner. They might not all active or even in the correct isoform to make it where its needed . Or they could have other functions

Topologically speaking, yes.

You win this round.
Although I was talking about guts in that post, but yeah, for the bacteria, right.
