Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the liver. Found in plasma, ascites, cerebrospinal fluid and urine. |
Post Translational Modifications | Allele GC*1S is O-glycosylated at Thr-436. The trisaccharide sugar moiety can be modified by the successive removal of neuraminic acid and galactose leaving an O-mceeN-acetyl-galactosamine. This conversion is thought to produce a macrophage-activating factor (Gc-MAF). Only a minor proportion of plasma GC is O-glycosylated. The potential N-glycosylation site predicted at Asn-288 is thought to be nonglycosylated. |
Function | Involved in vitamin D transport and storage, scavenging of extracellular G-actin, enhancement of the chemotactic activity of C5 alpha for neutrophils in inflammation and macrophage activation. |
