Recombinant Human Vitamin D3 Receptor Protein

Tag: N-MBP & C-His. Modification: unmodified. Start Site: Pro21. End Site: Phe150. Coverage: 0.31. Isoelectric Point: 7. Core Sequence: PRICGVCGDR ATGFHFNAMT CEGCKGFFRR SMKRKALFTC PFNGDCRITK DNRRHCQACR LKRCVDIGMM KEFILTDEEV QRKREMILKR KEEEALKDSL RPKLSEEQQR IIAILLDAHH KTYDPTYSDF. Homologies: Highest protein sequence identity to the following orthologs: Mouse - 98%, Rat - 98%, Pig - 98%, Cynomolgus monkey - 100%, Protein Function: Nuclear receptor for calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3 which mediates the action of this vitamin on cells (PubMed:10678179, PubMed:15728261, PubMed:16913708, PubMed:28698609, PubMed:37478846). Enters the nucleus upon vitamin D3 binding where it forms heterodimers with the retinoid X receptor/RXR (PubMed:28698609). The VDR-RXR heterodimers bind to specific response elements on DNA and activate the transcription of vitamin D3-responsive target genes (PubMed:28698609). Plays a central role in calcium homeostasis (By similarity). Also functions as a receptor for the secondary bile acid lithocholic acid (LCA) and its metabolites (PubMed:12016314, PubMed:32354638) [The Uniprot Consortium]
