Target Details for Vitamin D Receptor

Target: Vitamin D Receptor (VDR)

Alternative Name: Vitamin D3 Receptor / NR1I1

Target Type: Chemical

Background: The active metabolite of vitamin D modulates the expression of a wide variety of genes in a developmentally-specific manner. This secosteroid hormone can up- or downregulate the expression of genes involved in a diverse array of responses such as proliferation, differentiation and calcium homeostasis. 1,25-(OH)2-vitamin D3 exerts its effects through interaction with the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a member of the superfamily of hormone-activated nuclear receptors. In its ligand-bound state, the VDR forms heterodimers with the 9- cis retinoic acid receptor, RXR, and affects gene expression by binding specific DNA sequences known as hormone response elements, or HREs. In addition to regulating the above-mentioned cellular responses, 1,25-(OH)2-vitamin D3 exhibits antiproliferative properties in osteosarcom,a melanom,a colon carcinoma and breast carcinoma cells.Synonyms: 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor, Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group I member 1, VDR
