General Information (Source: NCBI Gene,UniProt)

Text mining Term vitamin D binding protein
UniProt ID VTDB_RAT
Name VDB
Gc-globulin
Group-specific component
DBP
Vitamin D-binding protein
Gene Names Gc
Synonyms:Dbp
Taxonomy Rattus norvegicus

General annotation

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.
Subcellular location Secreted.
