Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals 20180117 4
Metabolism of 25-hydroxyvitamin D<sub>3</sub> (25OHD<sub>3</sub>) plays a central role in regulating the biologic effects of vitamin D in the body. Although cytochrome P450-dependent hydroxylation of 25OHD<sub>3</sub> has been extensively investigated, limited information is available on the conjugation of 25OHD<sub>3</sub> In this study, we report that 25OHD<sub>3</sub> is selectively conjugated to 25OHD<sub>3</sub>-3-<i>O</i>-sulfate by human sulfotransferase 2A1 (SULT2A1) and that the liver i ...[more]
