Enables

This protein enables 4 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
actin bindingmolecular functionBinding to monomeric or multimeric forms of actin, including actin filaments. [GOC:clt]
vitamin transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of a vitamin from one side of a membrane to the other. [GOC:tb]
calcidiol bindingmolecular functionBinding to calcidiol. [GOC:bf, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:11799400]
vitamin D bindingmolecular functionBinding to vitamin D, any of a group of related, fat-soluble compounds that are derived from delta-5,7 steroids and play a central role in calcium metabolism. Specific forms of vitamin D include calciferol (ergocalciferol; vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (calciol; vitamin D3). [GOC:mah, ISBN:0471331309]

Located In

This protein is located in 6 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
extracellular regioncellular componentThe space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite. [GOC:go_curators]
extracellular spacecellular componentThat part of a multicellular organism outside the cells proper, usually taken to be outside the plasma membranes, and occupied by fluid. [ISBN:0198547684]
cytosolcellular componentThe part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. [GOC:hjd, GOC:jl]
lysosomal lumencellular componentThe volume enclosed within the lysosomal membrane. [GOC:jl, PMID:15213228]
extracellular exosomecellular componentA vesicle that is released into the extracellular region by fusion of the limiting endosomal membrane of a multivesicular body with the plasma membrane. Extracellular exosomes, also simply called exosomes, have a diameter of about 40-100 nm. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mah, GOC:vesicles, PMID:15908444, PMID:17641064, PMID:19442504, PMID:19498381, PMID:22418571, PMID:24009894]
blood microparticlecellular componentA phospholipid microvesicle that is derived from any of several cell types, such as platelets, blood cells, endothelial cells, or others, and contains membrane receptors as well as other proteins characteristic of the parental cell. Microparticles are heterogeneous in size, and are characterized as microvesicles free of nucleic acids. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mah, PMID:16373184]

Active In

This protein is active in 1 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
cytoplasmcellular componentThe contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. [ISBN:0198547684]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 4 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
vitamin transmembrane transportbiological processThe process in which a vitamin is transported across a membrane. A vitamin is one of a number of unrelated organic substances that occur in many foods in small amounts and that are necessary in trace amounts for the normal metabolic functioning of the body. [GOC:bf]
vitamin D metabolic processbiological processThe chemical reactions and pathways involving vitamin D, any of a group of related, fat-soluble compounds that are derived from delta-5,7 steroids and play a central role in calcium metabolism. Specific forms of vitamin D include calciferol (ergocalciferol; vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (calciol; vitamin D3). [GOC:mah, ISBN:0471331309]
vitamin transportbiological processThe directed movement of vitamins into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. A vitamin is one of a number of unrelated organic substances that occur in many foods in small amounts and that are necessary in trace amounts for the normal metabolic functioning of the body. [GOC:ai]
transportbiological processThe directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) or cellular components (such as complexes and organelles) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some agent such as a transporter or a transporter complex, a pore or a motor protein.
