Calcifediol also termed calcidiol is a hydroxylated vitamin D3 metabolite and the primary circulating form of vitamin D3 in humans Functioning as a prehormone it undergoes further hydroxylation to calcitriol which activates vitamin D receptor (VDR) signaling pathways In vitro assays indicate that calcifediol induces CYP24A1 expression (EC50 70 nM) and thrombomodulin expression at concentrations between 10-100 nM Calcifediol dose-dependently promotes nuclear translocation of VDR at concentrations from 0 1 to 10 M in cultured cells In vivo experiments demonstrated that calcifediol administration influences calcium binding protein expression and calcium transport Clinically calcifediol administration rapidly elevates circulating 25(OH)D3 concentrations facilitating precise modulation of vitamin D status Therefore calcifediol is utilized in biomedical research related to vitamin D metabolism calcium homeostasis and VDR-associated pathways
