The rapid actions of vitamin D compounds are surveyed in avariety of target tissues, including intestine, muscle, bone, hepatocytes, fibroblasts, HL-60 cells, kidney, mammary gland, and parathyroid. Evidence for non-nuclear receptors vs. membranophilic effects is discussed, followed by a considerati

## 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
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 We undertook an investigation of an outbreak of rachitic bone disease in the Emperor Tamarin New World primate colony at the Los Angeles Zoo in the midβ1980s. The disease phenotype resembled that observed in humans with an inactivating mutation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR), hypocalce
