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: axon; cytosol; extracellular region; extracellular space; lysosomal lumen; perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Molecular Function: actin binding; vitamin D binding; vitamin transporter activity. Biological Process: female pregnancy; lactation; response to estradiol stimulus; response to nutrient levels; vitamin D metabolic process; vitamin transport. Disease: Graves Disease, Susceptibility To, 1
