چکیده
'Transcalciferin' (the serum transport protein for cholecalciferol and related substances) of two New World monkeys, Cebus apella and Cebus albifrons, was found to be immunologically identical with the transcalciferin of other monkeys and partially with that ofman. In contrast with the a-globulin mobility of the transcalciferin of other primates, the transcalciferin of cebus monkey has the electrophoretic mobility of albumin. Most of the serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol was precipitable with isolated monospecific anti(human transcalciferin) y-globulins but not with anti-(human albumin) y-globulins. These results indicate that the transport of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in the cebus monkey is not due to albumin itself but to transcalciferin with the electrophoretic mobility of albumin. Similar variants of transcalciferin also exist in man.

Homologous radioimmunoassay of human osteocalcin.
Osteocalcin or bone gamma-glutamic acid-containing protein (GLA protein) was isolated from human bone and used to develop a homologous radioimmunoassay of human osteocalcin. The effect of age on serum osteocalcin was studied in 380 normal children and adolescents and 330 normal adults. The mean (+/- SD) values in adults were higher in men [25 +/- 5 micrograms/L (4.3 +/- 0.8 nmol/L)] than in pre...
متن کاملNormocalcemia is maintained in mice under conditions of calcium malabsorption by vitamin D-induced inhibition of bone mineralization.
Serum calcium levels are tightly controlled by an integrated hormone-controlled system that involves active vitamin D [1,25(OH)(2)D], which can elicit calcium mobilization from bone when intestinal calcium absorption is decreased. The skeletal adaptations, however, are still poorly characterized. To gain insight into these issues, we analyzed the consequences of specific vitamin D receptor (Vdr...

متن کاملInfluence of the vitamin D-binding protein on the serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Significance of the free 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 concentration.
The influence of the serum binding protein (DBP) for vitamin D and its metabolites on the concentration of its main ligands, 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) (25-OHD(3)) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25-[OH](2)D(3)) was studied. The concentration of both 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) and DBP in normal female subjects (45+/-14 ng/liter and 333+/-58 mg/liter, mean+/-SD, respectively; n = 58) increased during the in...
متن کاملThe isolation and characterization of the vitamin D-binding protein from rat serum.
The binding protein for vitamin DB (and its hydroxylated metabolites) was isolated from rat serum. The molecular weight was estimated to be 52,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and on gel filtration on agarose or Sephadex G-75. A sedimentation coefficient of 4.1 S was found on sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. Vitamin D-binding protein has an isoelectric point...
