  • Title: [Vitamin D, calcium-binding protein and calcium absorption in the intestines].
    Author: Bauman VK.
    Journal: Prikl Biokhim Mikrobiol; 1983; 19(1):11-9. PubMed ID: 6300828.
    Abstract:
    The author presents his own and literature data concerning the action of vitamin D and its analogs on the biosynthesis of calcium-binding protein (CaBP) in the chick intestinal mucosa. The mechanism of involvement of this protein in calcium transport across the intestinal epithelium is discussed. CaCP is considered as a specific test-substance for vitamin D. A close correlation between the CaCP content in the intestinal mucosa and the vitamin antirachitic effect is demonstrated. The quantitative estimates of the biological activity of various forms of vitamin D, their metabolites and synthetic analogs with respect to the CaCP content are given.
