Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It is known that 25(OH)D3 can be metabolized to 1,25(OH)2 D3 by 1alpha-OHase in breast tissue. This tissue-specific expression of 1alpha-OHase may act as the pivotal link between vitamin D status (25(OH)D3 levels) and the anticancer effects of 1,25(OH)2 D3. Alternative splicing freque...
