GC Vitamin D-binding protein Group-specific component Gc-globulin
Molecular Weight(MW)
52964 Da
Function
Multifunctional protein found in plasma, ascitic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine and on the surface of many cell types. In plasma, it carries the vitamin D sterols and prevents polymerization of actin by binding its monomers. DBP associates with membrane-bound immunoglobulin on the surface of B-lymphocytes and with IgG Fc receptor on the membranes of T-lymphocytes
Tissue Specificity
A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues within human VDBP was used as an immunogen.
