Gene: GC (group-specific component (vitamin D binding protein)) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

Name:

group-specific component (vitamin D binding protein)

Description:

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]

Type:

protein-coding

RefSeq Status:

REVIEWED
