Abstract excerpt
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (calcitriol) is the most active natural metabolite of Vitamin D(3). It has strong antiproliferative and differentiating effects on various cell types including breast cancer cells. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D(3)-1alpha-hydroxylase (1alpha-hydroxylase, CYP27B1) is one of the key enzymes in the formation of calcitriol. It has been found in breast cancer cells suggesting an autocrine regulation of...
