When vitamin D is metabolized into 1,25(OH)2D3 (also called calcitriol), it acts as a high-affinity ligand for the transcription factor VDR, i.e., it has direct effects on gene regulation. The key physiological functions of vitamin D are the regulation of calcium homeostasis, which is essential for bone mineralization, and the modulation of the immune system by stimulating innate immunity and preventing overreactions of adaptive immunity. This reprint presents recent developments and the latest research in the fascinating broad range of today's vitamin D biology, from evolution to systems biology. 606 $aVitamin D 615 0$aVitamin D. 676 $a612.399 702 $aCarlberg$b Carsten 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910683376703321 996 $aCommemorative Issue in Honor of Centennial of the Discovery of Vitamin D-The Central Role of Vitamin D in Physiology$93085530 997 $aUNINA
