Handling Instructions Technical Support

20-Hydroxyvitamin D3 (20(OH)D3), a product of vitamin D3 hydroxylation, is a noncalcemic immunomodulator. 20-Hydroxyvitamin D3 binds to vitamin D receptor (VDR), activates VDR and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling, stimulates CYP24A1 expression, and drives VDR nuclear translocation. 20-Hydroxyvitamin D3 inhibits NF-κB activity via IκBα upregulation. 20-Hydroxyvitamin D3 acts as a substrate for CYP27B1 and rat CYP24A1, undergoing hydroxylation to form dihydroxy-derivatives. 20-Hydroxyvitamin D3 inhibits cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and tumor growth, and induces cell differentiation in cancer cells. 20-Hydroxyvitamin D3 can be used for the research of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, melanoma, breast carcinomas, and hepatocarcinoma.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
