VDR

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.

Predicted location

Intracellular

Single cell type specificity

Cell type enhanced (Distal enterocytes, Proximal enterocytes, Undifferentiated cells)

Immune cell specificity

Group enriched (non-classical monocyte, neutrophil, intermediate monocyte, myeloid DC, classical monocyte, eosinophil)

Cell line specificity

Interaction

Homodimer in the absence of bound vitamin D3 (PubMed:11980721). Heterodimer with RXRA after vitamin D3 binding (PubMed:15225774, PubMed:11980721, PubMed:10678179). Interacts with MED1, NCOA1, NCOA2, NCOA3 and NCOA6 coactivators, leading to a strong increase of transcription of target genes (PubMed:10866662, PubMed:15728261, PubMed:28698609, PubMed:9267036). Interacts with the corepressor NCOR1 (PubMed:28698609). Interacts with SNW1 (PubMed:9632709). Interacts with IRX4, the interaction does not affect its transactivation activity (PubMed:22323358). Interacts with CRY1 (By similarity). Interacts with CRY2 in a ligand-dependent manner (By similarity).
