Serum levels of the actin scavenger Gc-globulin (group-specific component, vitamin D-binding protein), a member of the albumin multigene family, are decreased in severe liver disease but have not been evaluated in relation to liver transplantation. We measured Gc-globulin and Gcglobulin-actin comple
