متن کاملVitamin D-binding protein prevents vitamin D deficiency and presents vitamin D for its renal activation.
Two mouse models in which the vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) or megalin, a DBP receptor, were knocked out have recently confirmed that DBP is essential for normal vitamin D homeostasis, and have revealed a major pathway for vitamin D activation (1, 2). DBP is also known as the group-specific component of serum (Gc-globulin). It is a highly polymorphic 58 kDa glycoprotein, which has been used a...
متن کاملVitamin D and inflammation
Several studies found an inverse relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and markers of inflammation. A controversy exists as to whether vitamin D lowers inflammation or whether inflammation lowers 25(OH)D concentrations. Certainly 25(OH)D concentrations fall after major surgery. However, is this due to inflammation lowering 25(OH)D or is 25(OH)D being metabolically cleared by the bo...
متن کاملThe variation in free 25-hydroxy vitamin D and vitamin D-binding protein with season and vitamin D status
PURPOSE Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] varies greatly with season at northern latitudes. The purpose of this study was to determine if the seasonal variations in serum total 25(OH)D are followed by a concomitant variation in free 25(OH)D or if the variation is damped by alterations in the binding capacity of DBP. METHODS Serum was collected from 540 healthy blood donors (60% men; mean a...
متن کاملVitamin D Binding Protein and Bone Health
Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is the major carrier protein of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D) in the circulation, where it may serve roles in maintaining stable levels during times of decreased 25(OH) availability and in regulating delivery of 25(OH) D to target tissues. Several genetic polymorphisms of DBP have been described that lead to phenotypic changes in the protein that may affect affi...
