Vitamin D-Binding Protein
25-HCC-Binding Protein; 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol-Binding Protein; 25-Hydroxyvitamin D-Binding Protein; Calciferol-Binding Protein; Gc Globulin; Transcalciferin; 25 HCC Binding Protein; 25 Hydroxycholecalciferol Binding Protein
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.
