RABBIT ANTI HUMAN VITAMIN D BINDING PROTEIN
products short name :
VITAMIN D BINDING PROTEIN
other names :
vitamin D-binding protein isoform 1; Vitamin D-binding protein; vitamin D-binding protein; VDB; epididymis secretory protein Li 51; gc-globulin; vitamin D-binding alpha-globulin; group-specific component (vitamin D binding protein); Gc-globulin; Group-specific component
other gene names :
GC; GC; DBP; GRD3; VDBG; VDBP; DBP/GC; HEL-S-51; DBP; VDB
uniprot entry name :
VTDB_HUMAN
specificity :
This item recognizes Vitamin D binding protein (VDBP), the major carrier protein of vitamin D that also transports components such as fatty acids and endotoxins and has an important role in the actin scaveging system. VDBP is a 52-58 kDa plasma protein synthesized mainly by hepatocytes. Polymorphisms in the gene give rise to three major electrophoretic variants, Gc1, Gc1s and Gc1f that differ by amino acid substitutions as well as glycosylations. The physiological significance of these phenotypes has yet to be determined.
form :
Purified. Purified Ig - liquid
concentration :
Approximate Protein Concentration: 5.0 mg/ml

ncbi summary :
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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
uniprot summary :
GC: 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. Belongs to the ALB/AFP/VDB family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q12-q13. Cellular Component: lysosomal lumen; extracellular space; extracellular region; cytosol. Molecular Function: vitamin D binding; actin binding; vitamin transporter activity. Biological Process: steroid metabolic process; vitamin transport; vitamin D metabolic process. Disease: Graves Disease, Susceptibility To, 1
