Human vitamin D binding protein, previously known as the group-specific component (Gc), was shown to consist of a single polypeptide chain of molecular weight 52000 as evidenced by gel electrophoresis and gel filtration under denaturing conditions. Quantitative analyses by carboxypeptidase A hydroly...
