GcMAF (or Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor) is a protein produced by modification of vitamin D-binding protein. Once proclaimed a 'magic protein' capable of curing cancer, GcMAF has been proven ineffective.

dbo:abstract
  • GcMAF (or Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor) is a protein produced by modification of vitamin D-binding protein. Once proclaimed a 'magic protein' capable of curing cancer, GcMAF has been proven ineffective. The case sheds light on how far scammers are willing to go to exploit desperate cancer patients and their families for financial gain. Public warning issued by the Anticancer Fund Biochemically, GcMAF results from sequential deglycosylation of the vitamin D-binding protein (the Gc protein), which is naturally promoted by lymphocytes (B and T cells). The resulting protein may be a macrophage activating factor (MAF). MAFs are lymphokines that control the expression of antigens on the surface of macrophages, and one of their functions is to make macrophages become cytotoxic to tumors. (en)

  • GcMAF (Gc protein-derived Macrophage Activating Factor или Глобулин компонент активирующий макрофаги фактор) — это белок, получаемый модификацией белка, связывающего витамин D. Биохимически, GcMAF формируется путем последовательного дегликозилирования белка, связывающего витамин Д (белок Gc), которое естественным путем активируется лимфоцитами (B и T клетки). Образующийся белок может служить макрофаг активирующим фактором (MAF). MAFы — медиаторы клеточного иммунитета, которые контролируют экспрессию антигенов на поверхности макрофагов, и одна из их функций — переводить макрофаги в цитотоксичное состояние по отношению к опухолям.
