Evolutionary journey of the Gc protein (vitamin D-binding protein) across vertebrates.

Intrinsically disordered proteins

Anwar S, Iqbal MP, Zarina S, Bhutta ZA.
PMID: 28516027
Intrinsically Disord Proteins. 2014 Jan 01;1(1):e27450. doi: 10.4161/idp.27450. eCollection 2013.

With so many diverse functions such as transporter of vitamin D metabolites and fatty acids, actin scavenger and macrophage activating factor, Gc must have been one of the most conserved proteins in animal kingdom. Our objective was to investigate...

BACKGROUND: With the promise of disease modifying treatments, there is a need for more specific diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Plasma biomarkers are likely to be utilised to increase diagnostic accuracy and...

Vitamin D binding protein gene polymorphisms and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a meta-analysis.

Journal of thoracic disease

Chen H, Zhang L, He Z, Zhong X, Zhang J, Li M, Bai J.
PMID: 26380769
J Thorac Dis. 2015 Aug;7(8):1423-40. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2072-1439.2015.08.16.

BACKGROUND: A number of polymorphisms in vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) (GC) gene have been implicated in risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the results were controversial. GC1F, GC1S, and GC2 are three common variants of the...

Urinary Vitamin D-Binding Protein as a Biomarker of Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome.

Biomarker insights

Bennett MR, Pordal A, Haffner C, Pleasant L, Ma Q, Devarajan P.
PMID: 26792978
Biomark Insights. 2016 Jan 13;11:1-6. doi: 10.4137/BMI.S31633. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) is one of the most common glomerular disorders of childhood and is associated with increased urinary vitamin D-binding protein (uVDBP) excretion. We tested the hypothesis that uVDBP represents a biomarker to differentiate steroid-resistant nephrotic...

Evolutionary conservation of equine gc alleles and of Mammalian gc/albumin linkage.

Genetics

Weitkamp LR, Allen PZ.
PMID: 17248956
Genetics. 1979 Aug;92(4):1347-54. doi: 10.1093/genetics/92.4.1347.

Ancient origin of the equine vitamin D binding protein (Gc) polymorphism is suggested by the finding of two alleles, Gc(F) and Gc(S), in each of three equine subgenera, Equus, Asinus and Hippotigris. The equine Gc and albumin loci are...

Proteomics analysis of plasma for potential biomarkers in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Proteomics. Clinical applications

Liao PC, Yu L, Kuo CC, Lin C, Kuo YM.
PMID: 21136702
Proteomics Clin Appl. 2007 May;1(5):506-12. doi: 10.1002/prca.200600684. Epub 2007 Apr 19.

The objective of this study was to search for biological markers associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plasma specimens obtained from ten pathologically diagnosed AD patients and ten non-demented (ND) control subjects were analyzed by a combination of 2-DE and...

Pharmacokinetic studies of vitamin D analogues: relationship to vitamin D binding protein (DBP).

Endocrine

Kissmeyer A, Mathiasen IS, Latini S, Binderup L.
PMID: 21153172
Endocrine. 1995 Apr;3(4):263-6. doi: 10.1007/BF03021403.

Vitamin D(3), 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) (25OHD(3)) and 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1α,25(OH)(2)D(3)) bind to the vitamin D binding protein (DBP) in the serum. During the development of synthetic vitamin D analogues, it has been shown that the majority of analogues bind to...

Discrimination of grade 2 and 3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia by means of analysis of water soluble proteins recovered from cervical biopsies.

Proteome science

Uleberg KE, Munk AC, Brede C, Gudlaugsson E, van Diermen B, Skaland I, Malpica A, Janssen EA, Hjelle A, Baak JP.
