Abstract excerpt
Porcine CYP2D25, microsomal vitamin D(3) 25-hydroxylase, catalyzes the essential first step in the bioactivation of the prohormone vitamin D(3). Although CYP2D25 shows a high degree of sequence identity with other members of the CYP2D subfamily, such as human CYP2D6, the vitamin D(3) 25-hydroxylase activity is a unique property among CYP2D enzymes. In addition to 25-hydroxylation, CYP2D25 also metabolizes the...
