    basic FUNCTION
  • catalyzing the phosphorylation of sphingosine to form sphingosine 1-phosphate, a lipid mediator with both intra- and extracellular function
  • preventing loss of 25(OH)D3
  • release of DBP at sites of endothelial injury represents a novel pathway favoring accumulation of vascular smooth muscle cells at sites of vascular injury
  • multifunctional transport protein with a decreased serum concentration in cystic fibrosis (CF)
  • important to total circulating 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) and sequesters extracellular levels of this hormone, but the binding protein)does not influence the hormone biologically active pool
  • role of vitamin D binding protein in multiple sclerosis
  • DBP and NFIL3 proteins are critical for determining the period length of the circadian oscillator
  • association between vitamin D homeostasis and intestinal inflammation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

  • to calmodulin
  • binds to and transports vitamin D to target tissues to maintain calcium homeostasis through the vitamin D endocrine system
  • modifies the vitamin D-bone mineral density relationship
  • ARNTL and CLOCK may act as Kamikaze activators, in that they are rapidly degraded once bound to DBP chromatin
