代谢
钙三醇是维生素D3(胆钙化醇)的活性形式。人体内自然或内源性的维生素D供应主要依赖于紫外线,将皮肤中的7-脱氢胆固醇转化为维生素D3。维生素D3在肝脏和肾脏中必须经过代谢激活,才能在其靶组织中完全发挥作用。最初的转化由肝脏中的维生素D3-25-羟化酶酶催化,这个反应的产物是25-(OH)D3(钙化二醇)。后者在肾脏组织的线粒体中发生羟基化,这个反应由肾脏的25-羟基维生素D3-1α-羟化酶激活,以产生1,25-(OH)2D3(钙三醇),即维生素D3的活性形式。
Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). The natural or endogenous supply of vitamin D in man mainly depends on ultraviolet light for conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to vitamin D3 in the skin. Vitamin D3 must be metabolically activated in the liver and the kidney before it is fully active on its target tissues. The initial transformation is catalyzed by a vitamin D3-25-hydroxylase enzyme present in the liver, and the product of this reaction is 25-(OH)D3 (calcifediol). The latter undergoes hydroxylation in the mitochondria of kidney tissue, and this reaction is activated by the renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1-a-hydroxylase to produce 1,25-(OH)2D3 (calcitriol), the active form of vitamin D3.
