Gene Information

human ... GC(2638)

General 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. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

GC (Group-specific component) is major vitamin D binding protein in plasma. It is associated with several physiological functions including vitamin D transport and storage, accumulation of extracellular G-actin, increase in the chemotactic activity of C5a for neutrophils during inflammation and macrophage activation. It also exerts sugar moiety controlled pleiotropic effects during macrophage activation, antiangiogenic activity and antitumor activity.

The group-specific component (Gc) is the major vitamin D-binding protein in plasma. The gene encoding Gc is linked, on human chromosome 4, to the albumin and alpha-fetoprotein genes. These two genes previously were shown to have evolved from a smaller

The Gc protein (human group-specific component (Gc), a vitamin D-binding protein or Gc globulin), has important physiological functions that include involvement in vitamin D transport and storage, scavenging of extracellular G-actin, enhancement of the chemotactic activity of C5a for neutrophils
