Abstract excerpt
The active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), mediates its immunomodulatory effects by binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Here, we describe a new point mutation in the DNA-binding domain of the VDR and its consequences for 1,25(OH)2D3 signaling in T cells from heterozygous and homozygous carriers of the mutation. The mutation did not affect the overall structure or the ability of the...
