Vitamin D-binding protein, also\/originally known as gc-globulin (group-specific component), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GC gene.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. Functional note: Involved in vitamin D transport and storage, scavenging of extracellular G-actin, enhancement of the chemotactic activity of C5 alpha for neutrophils in inflammation and macrophage activation. Reported localization: Secreted. Expression\/tissue context: Expressed in the liver. Found in plasma, ascites, cerebrospinal fluid and urine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eActin Binding Proteins: Researchers commonly examine how GC relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActin: Researchers commonly examine how GC relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eetc.: Researchers commonly examine how GC relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWestern blotting: compare relative GC levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIHC\/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of GC across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecificity notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e No cross reactivity with other proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross-reactivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e No cross-reactivity with other proteins.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and PTMs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD\/KO samples when available.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt entry for P02774: https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/P02774\/entry - PubMed search (GC): https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=GC - NCBI Gene search (GC): https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=GC - Antibody validation concepts (NIH): https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/research-training\/rigor-reproducibility --\u003e","brand":"Boster Bio","offers":[{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Unconjugated","offer_id":53066856857965,"sku":"A03364-1","price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Biotin","offer_id":53067364827501,"sku":"A03364-1-Biotin","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Cy3","offer_id":53067364860269,"sku":"A03364-1-Cy3","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro488","offer_id":53067364893037,"sku":"A03364-1-Fluoro488","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro550","offer_id":53067364925805,"sku":"A03364-1-Fluoro550","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro594","offer_id":53067364958573,"sku":"A03364-1-Fluoro594","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ FITC","offer_id":53067364991341,"sku":"A03364-1-FITC","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ HRP","offer_id":53067365024109,"sku":"A03364-1-HRP","price":570.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ APC","offer_id":53067365056877,"sku":"A03364-1-APC","price":820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ PE","offer_id":53067365089645,"sku":"A03364-1-PE","price":820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Fluoro647","offer_id":53067365122413,"sku":"A03364-1-Fluoro647","price":670.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Carrier Free","offer_id":53067365155181,"sku":"A03364-1-carrier-free","price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/a03364-1-vitamin_d_binding_protein-primary-antibodies-wb-testing-1.jpg?v=1772608310","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/anti-vitamin-d-binding-protein-gc-antibody-picoband-bha21001312","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
