GC-globulin/vitamin D-binding protein is required for pancreatic α cell adaptation to metabolic stress
GC-globulin (GC), or vitamin D-binding protein, is a multifunctional protein involved in transport of circulating vitamin 25(OH)D and fatty acids, as well as actin-scavenging. In the pancreatic islets, the gene encoding GC, GC, is highly-localized to glucagon-secreting α cells. Despite this, the rol...
