Vitamin D3 must undergo a two-step metabolic process to be active; the first step occurs in the microsomal fraction of the liver where Vitamin D is hydroxylated at position 25 (25-hydroxycholecalciferol or calcifediol); the second step takes place in the kidney where 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol or calcitriol is formed due to the activity of enzyme 25-hydroxycholecalciferol 1-hydroxylase. Vitamin D increases absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestine and improves normal bone formation and mineralization. |
