25-Hydroxyvitamin D 1-alpha-hydroxylase (VD 1A hydroxylase) also known as calcidiol 1-monooxygenase[ citation needed ] or cytochrome p450 27B1 (CYP27B1) or simply 1-alpha-hydroxylase is a cytochrome P450 enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CYP27B1 gene. [5] [6] [7]
VD 1A hydroxylase is located in the proximal tubule of the kidney and a variety of other tissues, including skin (keratinocytes), immune cells, [8] and bone (osteoblasts). [9]
The enzyme catalyzes the hydroxylation of calcifediol to calcitriol (the bioactive form of Vitamin D): [10]
The enzyme is also able to oxidize ercalcidiol (25-OH D2) to ercalcitriol, secalciferol to calcitetrol, and 25-hydroxy-24-oxocalciol to (1S)-1,25-dihydroxy-24-oxocalciol. [11]
Loss-of-function mutations in CYP27B1 cause Vitamin D-dependent rickets, type IA. [12]
