[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/VDR_HUMAN VDR_HUMAN]] Nuclear hormone receptor. Transcription factor that mediates the action of vitamin D3 by controlling the expression of hormone sensitive genes. Regulates transcription of hormone sensitive genes via its association with the WINAC complex, a chromatin-remodeling complex. Recruited to promoters via its interaction with the WINAC complex subunit BAZ1B/WSTF, which mediates the interaction with acetylated histones, an essential step for VDR-promoter association. Plays a central role in calcium homeostasis.<ref>PMID:16252006</ref><ref>PMID:10678179</ref><ref>PMID:15728261</ref><ref>PMID:16913708</ref> | Vitamin D plays an essential role in regulating the levels of calcium and phosphate in the body. It is converted into a hormone that is secreted by the kidneys and travels through the body. It has major effects on intestinal cells, where it helps control the uptake of calcium, and bone cells, where it helps control the formation and maintenance of the skeleton. | ||
