Journal Article
CYP2R1 is a major, but not exclusive, contributor to 25-hydroxyvitamin D production in vivo
2013
Overview
Bioactivation of vitamin D consists of two sequential hydroxylation steps to produce 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D ₃. It is clear that the second or 1α-hydroxylation step is carried out by a single enzyme, 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1α-hydroxylase CYP27B1. However, it is not certain what enzyme or enzymes are responsible for the initial 25-hydroxylation. An excellent case has been made for vitamin D 25-hydroxylase CYP2R1, but this hypothesis has not yet been tested. We have now produced Cyp2r1 ⁻/⁻ mice. These mice had greater than 50% reduction in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D ₃. Curiously, the 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D ₃ level in the serum remained unchanged. These mice presented no health issues. A double knockout of Cyp2r1 and Cyp27a1 maintained a similar circulating level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D ₃ and 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D ₃. Our results support the idea that the CYP2R1 is the major enzyme responsible for 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D, but clearly a second, as-yet unknown, enzyme is another contributor to this important step in vitamin D activation.
