Abstract excerpt
The active form of vitamin D, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1α,25D3), plays an important role in the maintenance of calcium (Ca) homeostasis, bone formation, and cell proliferation and differentiation via nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). It is formed by the hydroxylation of vitamin D at the 1α position by 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1α-hydroxylase (CYP27B1) in the kidney. However, Cyp27b1-/- mice, deficient in CYP27B1, and...
