Vitamin D then undergoes hydroxylation to calcidiol (25-OHD3) in the liver and becomes the major circulating form, and then to calcitriol (vitamin D3 hormone; 1alpha 25 - (OH) 2D3) in the kidney. 1alpha, 25 - (OH) 2D3 is carried systemically to distal target organs where it binds to a vast array of nuclear receptors to generate its appropriate biological response.
