Abstract excerpt
1,25-(OH)(2) vitamin D(3) is important for calcium homeostasis and cell differentiation. The key enzyme for the activation of liver-derived 25(OH) vitamin D(3) is 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) 1alpha-hydroxylase. It is expressed mainly in the kidney but also in peripheral tissues. A 1413-bp fragment of the 1alpha-hydroxylase promoter was cloned into luciferase vectors pGL2basic and pGL3basic. Sequence analyses revealed...
