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.

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.

The impact of VDR expression and regulation in vivo [PDF]
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediates the pleiotropic biological actions of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). These actions include orchestration of mineral homeostasis which is coordinated by the kidney, intestine, bone and parathyroid gland wherein the VDR transcriptionally regulates expression of the genes involved in this complex process ...

Difference and similarity of DNA sequence recognized by VDR homodimer and VDR/RXR heterodimer
Nuclear receptors for the thyroid hormone and vitamin A and D cooperate with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) in activating the transcription. Although the hormone response elements for these receptors have been proposed in which spacing of the direct repeated motifs determine the specificity (so called 3-4-5 rule), vitamin D response elements (VDREs) in ...

Very important pharmacogene summary for VDR [PDF]
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) binds the active form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3). It belongs to the family of trans-acting transcriptional regulatory factors and shows sequence similarity to the steroid and thyroid hormone receptors. The gene was cloned by Baker and colleagues in 1988 and maps to chromosome 12q13.11 [1].

Association of rs2476601 and rs1544410 with Onset of T1D in Youngsters of Lahore, Pakistan
The PTPN22 gene plays vital role in T1D onset by encoding Lymphoid-specific phosphatase (LYP) that lead to T-cell receptor-associated CsK kinase inactivation and preventing T-cell spontaneous activation by dephosphorylation.
