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
## Abstract The biologically active metabolite of vitamin D, 1,25βdihydroxyvitamin D~3~ (1,25(OH)~2~D~3~) is a secosteroid whose genomic mechanism of action is similar to that of other steroid hormones and is mediated by stereospecific interaction of 1,25(OH)~2~D~3~ with the vitamin D receptor (VDR
