Alternative Splicing of Vitamin D-24-Hydroxylase

Abstract excerpt

Synthesis of the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH)(2)D), by renal epithelial cells is tightly controlled during normal calcium homeostasis. By contrast, macrophage production of 1,25-(OH)(2)D is often dysregulated with potential hypercalcemic complications. We have postulated that this is due to abnormal catabolism of 1,25-(OH)(2)D by the feedback control enzyme, vitamin...
