Vitamin D binding protein (VDBP), also known as Group-specific component (GC), is a circulating serum transport protein involved in vitamin D metabolite transport, extracellular actin scavenging, and systemic metabolic regulation. The VDBP Antibody / Metabolic Carrier Protein Antibody is designed for detection of VDBP expression in studies involving endocrine metabolism, hepatic protein secretion, circulating transport pathways, and vitamin D-associated physiologic regulation.
VDBP is encoded by the GC gene on chromosome 4q13 and is synthesized primarily by hepatocytes prior to secretion into plasma and extracellular fluids. The protein functions as the major carrier of vitamin D and its metabolites within the circulation, thereby regulating systemic distribution and bioavailability of vitamin D-associated endocrine signaling molecules. Because VDBP is abundant in serum and extracellular compartments, it serves as an important component of metabolic transport and endocrine homeostasis pathways.
Beyond vitamin D transport, VDBP participates in extracellular actin scavenging and inflammatory response-associated signaling mechanisms. The protein may contribute to immune-associated pathways involving macrophage activation, tissue injury responses, and cytokine-responsive inflammatory regulation. Altered VDBP expression or circulating levels have been associated with liver dysfunction, kidney-associated disease states, inflammatory signaling abnormalities, and metabolic disorders affecting calcium and phosphate balance.
Western blot analysis using VDBP antibodies commonly demonstrates bands corresponding to endogenous VDBP protein in serum-associated and hepatocyte-derived tissue lysates, while immunohistochemical staining may reveal cytoplasmic localization patterns within hepatic and epithelial cellular populations consistent with the secretory biology of this circulating carrier protein. The rabbit polyclonal format supports recognition of multiple VDBP-associated epitopes and may enhance target detection across denatured and native protein preparations.
VDBP continues to serve as an important target in studies involving vitamin D metabolism, endocrine signaling, liver-associated physiology, and systemic metabolic transport pathways. For highly selective detection of VDBP in vitamin D transport and endocrine metabolism studies, see our VDBP Antibody / Vitamin D Binding Protein Antibody clone VDBP/4481 featuring protein microarray specificity validation.
Optimal dilution of the VDBP Antibody / Metabolic Carrier Protein Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant human protein corresponding to amino acids L17-E256 was used as the immunogen for the VDBP antibody.
After reconstitution, the VDBP antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
