General description

25-hydroxyvitamin D-1 alpha hydroxylase (1αOHase; VD3 1A hydroxylase; 25-OHD-1 alpha-hydroxylase; 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) 1-alpha-hydroxylase; or CYP27B1) is a mitochondrial enzyme that belongs to the cytochrome P450 family. It catalyzes the hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 to form an active 1-alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, in the kidneys and other tissues. 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1 alpha hydroxylase plays an important role in bone growth, calcium metabolism, and tissue differentiation. Previous studies have reported that mice deficient in 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1 alpha hydroxylase are affected by hypocalcemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism, retarded growth, and the skeletal abnormalities. In humans, defects in this enzyme causes pseudovitamin D deficiency rickets (vitamin D-dependent type 1A rickets), an autosomal recessive condition characterized by abnormal bone mineralization and impaired growth.

Target description

~58 kDa observed. Uncharacterized bands may be observed at ~55 kDa, ~70 kDa, ~110 kDa, and ~115 kDa in some cell lysates. A doublet at ~58 kDa may be observed in some cell lysates (Kemmis, C. M., et al. (2006). J Nutr. 136(4):887-892.).
