In recent years, our understanding of the many physiological, biochemical, and molecular
functions and attributes of vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) has seen exciting and significant …

Background: Gc-globulin (vitamin D–binding protein) appears to have important functions in
addition to its role as a carrier of vitamin D. Approach: We reviewed recent studies focusing …

The determination of free 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) as compared to the analysis of
total 25-hydroxyvitamin D might reflect better the vitamin D status during pregnancy, since …

Actin filament pointed-end dynamics are thought to play a critical role in cell motility, yet
regulation of this process remains poorly understood. We describe here a previously …

This overview describes the research of Nobutu Yamamoto (Philadelphia) concerning
immunotherapy with GcMAF for patients with cancer and for patients infected with …

The strong sequence homology described recently between Gc (Vitamin D-binding protein)
and albumin, and the ability of the latter, to bind 2-p-toluidinylnaphthylene sulfonate (TNS) …

Objectives: In patients with multiple trauma, actin released from damaged cells may cause
severe circulatory disturbance due to thrombi formation. The aim of this study was to …

Serum concentrations of the actin scavenger Gc‐globulin are reduced in acute liver failure
(ALF). Prospectively, we tested Gc‐globulin's value to predict outcome following ALF using …

Objective: Actin is the dominating intracellular protein and is released to the circulation after
tissue injury. Gc-globulin is one of the plasma proteins responsible for removal of actin from …

Abstract Binding studies with [3 H] 25-(OH) D 3 were performed under a variety of conditions
using Gc (Vitamin D-binding protein) purified from individuals displaying different …
