Patterns of genome-wide VDR locations.
The genome-wide analysis of the binding sites of the transcription factor vitamin D receptor (VDR) is essential for a global appreciation the physiological impact of the nuclear hormone 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3).

Disruption of Vitamin D and Calcium Signaling in Keratinocytes Predisposes to Skin Cancer. [PDF]
1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), the active metabolite of vitamin D, and calcium regulate epidermal differentiation. 1,25(OH)2D exerts its effects through the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a transcription factor in the nuclear hormone receptor family ...

Evaluation of VDR and PAI allelic genes in patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head
Objective To evaluate the informative value of the carrier status for allelic variations that determine the sensitivity of tissues to calcitriol (VDR) and are involved in familial thrombophilia and hypofibrinolysis (PAI-1) as molecular genetic markers ...

Vitamin D and extraskeletal effects [PDF]
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin and a steroid hormone with endocrine, paracrine and autocrine actions. The two major forms are vitamin D2 (ergocalcifeol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), the active hormone being calcitriol.

Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) Regulation of Voltage-Gated Chloride Channels by Ligands Preferring a VDR-Alternative Pocket (VDR-AP) [PDF]
We have postulated that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) contains two overlapping ligand binding sites, a genomic pocket and an alternative pocket (AP), that mediate regulation of gene transcription and rapid responses, respectively. Flexible VDR + ligand docking calculations predict that the major blood metabolite, 25(OH)-vitamin D3 (25D3), and curcumin ...

In this work, we propose VDR, a routing scheme based on virtual domains -- domains that are not bound to physical routers -- to exploit the benefits of aggregation and hashing while overcoming their disadvantages. VDR addresses the FIB scalability issue in CCN by facilitating aggregation without compromising on the advantages of CCN such as ease of ...

Protective Role of Vitamin D in Renal Tubulopathies
Vitamin D is tightly linked with renal tubular homeostasis: the mitochondria of proximal convoluted tubule cells are the production site of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.
