The steroid hormone 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (1,25(OH) 2 D 3 ) regulates cell proliferation and differentiation. Intracellular calcium (Cai) concentrations play a crucial role in these events. From our previous studies, we have demonstrated a calcium receptor (CaR) in keratinocytes which appears to

✦ Synopsis
In the present investigation we studied the metabolism of 1 cu,25-dihydroxy-[l P-3H]vitamin D3 (3H-1 ,25(OH),D3) in culture-grown human keratinocytes (CHK). O u r results showed that the cellular uptake of 3H-1,25(OH)2D3, upon incubation with CHK, occurred very rapidly; and it paralleled a decrease in the concentration of 3H-I ,25(OH),D3 in the medium. The amount of 3H-calcitroic acid, on the other hand, increased slowly in the medium, while the concentration of 3H-calcitroic acid in the cell remained undetectable during the whole period of incubation. When the cells were preincubated with 1,25(OH)*D3 (10-8M), conversion of 3H-1,25(OH)2D3 to 3H-calcitroic acid increased almost twofold, indicating that 1 ,25(OH),D3 catalyzed its own catabolism.

## Abstract The active form of vitamin D~3~, 1,25(OH)~2~D~3~, is known, besides its classical effects on calcium and bone, for its pronounced immunomodulatory effects that are exerted both on the antigen‐presenting cell level as well as directly on the T lymphocyte level. In animal models, these im
