Abstract excerpt
CYP27B1, encoding 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1alpha-hydroxylase, converts 25-hydroxyvitamin D to its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and is expressed primarily in the kidney but also in nontraditional sites including the parathyroid glands. Whereas the role of locally produced 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is not yet clear, it is possible that it contributes importantly to vitamin D-mediated inhibition of parathyroid...
