Calcifediol is the primary hydroxylated metabolite of vitamin D, characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl (–OH) group at the 25th carbon position of the cholesterol molecule. Calcifediol is formed in the liver from cholesterol-derived vitamin D (such as vitamin D3 or D2) through the catalytic action of 25-hydroxylase (CYP2R1) and serves as an important endogenous marker in biological systems, reflecting the body's vitamin D status. Calcifediol exhibits significant biological activity in the body, particularly in bone health and calcium-phosphorus metabolism. It is considered an indirect ligand for the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR), regulating physiological processes such as calcium absorption, bone mineralization, and immune response through its further conversion into the active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (Calcitriol).
By interacting with VDR receptor metabolites, calcifediol can influence various physiological functions, including the regulation of the immune system, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Due to its critical role in calcium-phosphorus metabolism and immune function regulation, calcifediol is regarded as a key biomarker in drug development and health management. Quantitative analysis of calcifediol helps assess an individual’s vitamin D nutritional status, aids in diagnosing vitamin D deficiency and related diseases, and provides a basis for personalized treatment. The formation of calcifediol involves multiple enzymatic steps, particularly the catalysis by 25-hydroxylase (such as CYP2R1) in the liver. Quantitative analysis of calcifediol and its metabolites can help reveal the activity of the vitamin D metabolic pathways under different physiological and pathological conditions, explore its changes in disease states, and provide important insights for research on bone metabolic diseases and immune disorders.
