We and others have previously shown that selected vitamin D analogs potentiate the vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediated transcription much more efficiently than the natural hormone itself. Here we show that the transcriptionally active 20-epi analogs, namely KH 1060 and MC 1288, protect VDR against deg
