Vitamin D-binding protein belongs to the albumin gene family, together with human serum albumin and alpha-fetoprotein.
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.
As Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor it is a Macrophage Activating Factor (MAF) that has been tested for use as a cancer treatment that would activate macrophages against cancer cells.
Human GC is a glycosylated alpha-globulin, ~58kD in size.
Its 458aa are coded for by 1690 nucleotides on chromosome 4 (4q11–q13).
