Vitamin D gene regulation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Vitamin D is a principal factor required for the development and maintenance of bone as well as for maintaining normal calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. In addition, evidence has indicated the involvement of vitamin D in a number of diverse cellular processes including effects on differentiation and cell proliferation, cancer progression and on the immune system. In this chapter we review vitamin D metabolism (including recent advances obtained from the identification of clinical syndromes related to abnormalities in vitamin D metabolism) and action with a focus on vitamin D action in classical target tissues. In addition, recent studies using genome-wide techniques are reviewed which provide new concepts and novel insight into the mechanisms of 1,25(OH)2D3 action.
