  2. Vitamin D-binding protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D-binding_protein

    Vitamin D-binding protein (DBP), also/originally known as gc-globulin (group-specific component), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GC gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] DBP is genetically the oldest member of the albuminoid family and appeared early in the evolution of vertebrates.

  3. VDRE - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDRE

    Vitamin D response element (VDRE) is a type of DNA sequence that is found in the promoter region of vitamin D regulated genes. This sequence binds the vitamin D receptor (VDR), when complexed with calcitriol (1,25(OH) 2 D), the active form of vitamin D, and so regulates the expression of many genes.

  4. Vitamin D receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D_receptor

    The VDR gene encodes the nuclear hormone receptor for vitamin D. The most potent natural agonist is calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol) and the vitamin D 2 homologue ercalcitriol, 1-alpha,25-dihydroergocalciferol) is also a strong activator. Other forms of vitamin D bind with lower affinity, as does the secondary bile acid lithocholic ...

  5. Vitamin D binding protein domain III - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D_binding_protein...

    In molecular biology, Vitamin D binding protein domain III protein domain is predominantly found in Vitamin D binding proteins (DBP). Vitamin D-binding protein (DBP)(also referred to as Gc-globulin) is synthesized primarily in the liver. This entry outlines the domain III of DBP. Domain III (amino acid 379–458) is G-actin binding region ...

  6. Vitamin D - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D

    Metabolites produced from vitamin D 2 tend to bind less well to the vitamin D-binding protein. [ 3 ] Vitamin D 3 can alternatively be hydroxylated to calcifediol by sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1), but vitamin D 2 cannot.

  7. Albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albumin

    A number of blood transport proteins are evolutionarily related in the albumin family, including serum albumin, alpha-fetoprotein, vitamin D-binding protein and afamin. [3] [4] [5] This family is only found in vertebrates. [6] Albumins in a less strict sense can mean other proteins that coagulate under certain conditions.

  9. CYP24A1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CYP24A1

    Transcription of the CYP24A1 gene is markedly inducible by 1,25-(OH) 2 D 3 binding to the vitamin D receptor. [6] The gene has a strong, positive vitamin D response element in the promoter. Through regulation of CYP24A1 expression, a negative feedback control system is created to limit the effects of 1,25-(OH) 2 D 3. [6] PTH and FGF23 also ...
