We have reported that the active form of vitamin D3, 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 [1 alpha, 25(OH)2D3], directly induces the fusion of mouse alveolar macrophages (Abe et al: Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80:5583-5587, 1983). The fusion process can be divided into two phases: the 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3-d
The skin fulfills an important role in the vitamin D photo-endocrine system. Epidermis is not only the site of vitamin D 3 photoproduction. In addition, epidermal keratinocytes contain the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and possess 25-hydroxylase and 1a-hydroxylase activity indicating that all components
