Target Details for Vitamin D-Binding Protein

Target: Vitamin D-Binding Protein (GC)

Alternative Name: Vitamin D Binding Protein

Background:

Synonyms: Vitamin D-binding protein, DBP, VDB, Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in the liver. Found in plasma, ascites, cerebrospinal fluid and urine.

Background: Vitamin D-binding protein, also/originally known as gc-globulin (group-specific component), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GC gene.The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the albumin gene family. It is a multifunctional protein found in plasma, ascitic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid and on the surface of many cell types. It binds to vitamin D and its plasma metabolites and transports them to target tissues.

Molecular Weight: 53 kDa

Gene ID: 2638

Pathways: Metabolism of Steroid Hormones and Vitamin D, Monocarboxylic Acid Catabolic Process
