General description

(24R)-24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 or secalciferol is produced in kidney. It is the one of the most active form of vitamin D and an essential circulating vitamin D3 metabolite.

Application

(24R)-24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 has been used to assess its function(s) compared with that of 1α,25(OH)2D3, during osteoblastic differentiation of primary human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs).

Biochem/physiol Actions

(24R)-24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 plays an essential role in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. (24R)-24,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 along with 1α,25(OH)2D3 stimulates bone metabolism.
Cholecalciferol is an inactive form of vitamin D3 which undergoes various levels of hydroxylation to form active vitamin D3 analogs. 1α-Hydroxyvitamin D3 (alfacalcidol) is a synthetic analog that is metabolized to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, the biologically active form of vitamin D3. Other analogues of cholecalciferol result from different hydroxylations. 24R,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 is a catabolite of 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and a putative regulator of developmental bone formation. 24R,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 is a substrate for renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1 α-hydroxylase. 24R,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 is an endogenous regulator of apo A-I synthesis through a VDR-independent signaling mechanism and an inhibitor of Pi-induced apoptosis through Ca2+, PLD, and PLC signaling and through LPA-LPA1/3-G(αi)-PI(3)K-mdm2-mediated p53 degradation.

The effect of the physiological vitamin D metabolite 24R, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24R,25(OH)2D3] on human osteoblastic cells was assessed. Physiological concentrations (10(-9)-10(-8) M) of 24R, 25(OH)2D3 significantly increased the cyclic guanosine 5'-monophosphate (cGMP) content in the human osteoblastic cells by approximately

CYP27B1 is a mitochondrial cytochrome P450 that catalyses the hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 at the C1α-position to give the hormonally active form of vitamin D3, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. We successfully expressed human CYP27B1 in Escherichia coli and partially purified this labile enzyme

Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with risk of overt cardiovascular disease (CVD), but associations with subclinical disease are not well characterized. Hence, we examined associations of circulating vitamin D concentrations and left ventricular (LV) geometry and function by echocardiography

Fundamental to understanding the way in which perturbations in the vitamin D endocrine system can affect human health is an appreciation of the steps involved in the production of the well-recognized active hormonal form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3). Thus this paper focuses

Ligands for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulate apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) gene expression in a tissue-specific manner. The vitamin D metabolite 24, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (24, 25-(OH)(2)D(3)) has been shown to possess unique biological effects. To determine if 24, 25-(OH)(2)D(3) modulates
