Thanks for coming around bro.

what is this glycoprotein

The name of this glycoprotein is Haptocorrin. And this is necessary because vitamin B12 is sensitive to the acid content of the stomach.

what enzyme(s) break it down

In the small intestine, pancreatic protease is released which act on the haptocorrin (protease acts on protein and haptocorrin is a glycoprotein) and releases the vitamin.
