Vectors for Human VDR

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol VDR
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name vitamin D receptor
  • Other Aliases NR1I1; PPP1R163
  • Other Desigations vitamin D3 receptor; 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor; nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group I member 1; protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 163; vitamin D (1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3) receptor
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This gene encodes vitamin D3 receptor, which is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-inducible transcription factors. This receptor also functions as a receptor for the secondary bile acid, lithocholic acid. Downstream targets of vitamin D3 receptor are principally involved in mineral metabolism, though this receptor regulates a variety of other metabolic pathways, such as those involved in immune response and cancer. Mutations in this gene are associated with type II vitamin D-resistant rickets. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the initiation codon results in an alternate translation start site three codons downstream. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. A recent study provided evidence for translational readthrough in this gene, and expression of an additional C-terminally extended isoform via the use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon.
