General description
Determining total 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration in serum, the sum of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 [25(OH)D2] and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] is generally considered a reliable indicator of vitamin D status. Measurement of 24R, 25(OH)2D3 in serum is considered a catabolism marker and an indicator of kidney disease. A unit of SRM 972a contains 1 mL of four vials (levels 1 through 4) of frozen serum with different concentration levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and 24R, 25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 [24R,25(OH)2D3].

Application
This vitamin D metabolite standard reference material (SRM) is intended for use as an accuracy control in the evaluation of methods for determining the amount-of-substance concentration of vitamin D metabolites in human serum. This SRM can also be used as a quality assurance tool for assigning values to in-house control materials for these constituents.
Vitamin D metabolites in frozen human serum has been used as a reference material for the calibration and standardization of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) from dried blood spot samples by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Vitamin D known as cholecalciferol exists as vitamin D3. It is taken in the diet through fortified dairy products and fish oils. It is synthesized in the skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol by ultraviolet irradiation. The biologically active form of vitamin D, 25(OH)2D3, is essential for mineral metabolism, and for other physiological functions like inhibition of growth of cancer cells and protection against certain immune mediated disorders.

Clinical evaluation of vitamin D status is conventionally performed by measuring serum levels of a single vitamin D metabolite, 25-hydroxyvitamin D predominantly by immunoassay methodology. However, this neglects the complex metabolic pathways involved in vitamin D bioactivity, including two canonical
