Abstract
The physiological role of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D remains controversial. Recent results suggest that 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is essential for fracture healing, and binding sites for 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D have been identified in fracture callus tissue. Mice deficient in the 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase enzyme provide novel genetic tools in which to study the role of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in bone development and fracture repair.Entities:
