The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption.
Calcitriol has been studied across 23 research domains including 🦴 Bone & Joint, 🔬 Oncology, 🧬 Hormones, 🫘 Kidney, 🔬 Inflammation. The primary research focus is 🦴 Bone & Joint with 53% of studies addressing this area.
The following compounds share molecular targets with Calcitriol, based on binding affinity data from BindingDB and ChEMBL. Sorted by shared target overlap.
This evidence profile for Calcitriol is generated deterministically from 300 PubMed-indexed studies. All data is corpus-verified with Merkle proofs. BiohacksAI does not provide medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.
