MeSH Heading: Vitamin D-Binding Protein
Tree Number(s): D12.776.157.920
Unique ID: D014809
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014809
Scope Note: An alpha-globulin found in the plasma of man and other vertebrates. It is apparently synthesized in the liver and carries vitamin D and its metabolites through the circulation and mediates the response of tissue. It is also known as group-specific component (Gc). Gc subtypes are used to determine specific phenotypes and gene frequencies. These data are employed in the classification of population groups, paternity investigations, and in forensic medicine.
Entry Term(s): 25-HCC-Binding Protein; 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol-Binding Protein; 25-Hydroxyvitamin D-Binding Protein; Calciferol-Binding Protein; Gc Globulin; Group-Specific Component Globulin; Transcalciferin; Vitamin D-Binding Globulin
