The VDBP ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of VDBP in various samples. VDBP is another term for the GC gene, which encodes the protein, GC vitamin D binding protein in humans. It has been reported that VDBP plays a role in metabolic processes, among other functions. Structurally, the GC protein is 474 amino acid residues in length and 52.9 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 3 protein isoforms have been identified. It is known to be a secreted protein. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be expressed in the liver. This protein is known to be O-glycosylated and N-glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include DBP, DBP-maf, and DBP/GC.
Some VDBP ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 3.125 ng/mL and as high as 20.1 µg/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
