Role of group-specific component (vitamin D binding protein) in clearance of actin from the circulation in the rabbit.

Abstract

The possible role of group specific component (Gc) (vitamin D-binding protein) in the clearance of cellular actin entering the circulation was examined with 125I-labeled Gc and actin injected into a rabbit model. Although filamentous F-actin is depolymerized primarily by plasma gelsolin, greater than or equal to 90% 125I-actin injected in either monomeric G- or F-form became complexed eventually with Gc (1:1 molar ratio). Clearance of Gc complexes was much faster (greater than 90% within 5 h) than that of native Gc (t1/2 = 17.2 h). Nephrectomy did not significantly alter the clearance of either Gc or actin. Since Gc complexes are dramatically increased in situations of tissue necrosis such as in fulminant hepatic failure, the current results suggest a crucial role for Gc in sequestration and clearance of released cellular actin.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
