Yes, vitamin D is primarily bound to plasma proteins for transfer in the bloodstream. The main transport protein for vitamin D is vitamin D-binding protein (DBP), which carries both vitamin D and its metabolites. This binding is essential for the regulation of vitamin D's bioavailability and its transport to target tissues. A smaller proportion of vitamin D can also bind to albumin.

What is protien s?
Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein synthesized in the endothelium. In the circulation, Protein S exists in two forms: a free form and a complex form bound to complement protein C4b. In humans, protein S is encoded by the PROS1 gene.
Which of the following incorrectly matches the type of cell type of protein and site of the proteins synthesis?
prokaryote, plasma membrane protein, ribosome bound to plasma membrane
Which drug is binding with plasma protein?
Many drugs bind with your plasma proteins or albumins. An example is Warfarin (Coumadin) which is 90% bound to plasma proteins.
In plasma iron is transported bound to what?
In plasma, iron is transported bound to a protein called transferrin. Transferrin helps to deliver iron to cells throughout the body, where it is necessary for various biological functions.
Will highly protein-bound drugs be metabolized quickly?
If a medication is protein-bound (i.e. albumin), they are not available for metabolism. Therefore, the more the drug is bound to protein, the less is metabolized.
What is a membrand bound organelle?
A membrane-bound organelle is an organelle surrounded by a plasma membrane.
What is DNA loosly bound to protein called?
The segments of DNA that are loosly bound to protein are called Chromatin.
Is warfarin a protein bound medication?
Yes it is, therefore you need to be careful when taking other protein bound medications.
Where are the electrons in plasma found?
Plasma contains a small proportion of free electrons, which are not bound to any atoms and instead flow freely in the plasma.
What are lipids bound to when they are circulating in the blood?
protein
What does highly protein bound mean regarding medications?
When a medication molecule is protein bound, that maolecule cannot be used to create a clinical effect. Therefore, a medication that is HIGHLY protein bound does not leave a very high percentage of medication available for clinical effect.
Can you donate plasma on lithium?
It is generally safe to donate plasma while on lithium. However, it's important to inform the healthcare provider at the plasma donation center about any medications you are taking, including lithium, to ensure there are no restrictions or complications associated with the donation process.
