Abstract excerpt
The nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) binds the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3]hormone with high affinity and elicits its actions to regulate gene expression in target cells by binding to vitamin D-responsive elements (VDREs). VDREs in positively controlled genes such as osteocalcin, osteopontin, beta 3-integrin, and vitamin D-24-OHase are direct hexanucleotide repeats with a spacer of three nucleotides....
