While the structure of the DNA-binding domain (DBD) of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) has been determined in great detail, the roles of its domains and how to bind the motif of its target genes are still under debate. The VDR DBD consists of two zinc f...
The genomic activity of 1,25(OH)2D3 is mediated by vitamin D receptor (VDR), whilst non-genomic is associated with protein disulfide isomerase family A member 3 (PDIA3). Interestingly, our recent studies documented that PDIA3 is also involved, direct...
Recent evidence suggests that vitamin D is involved in the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The aim of this study was to analyze the electrophysiological and contractile properties of pulmonary arteries (PAs) in vitamin D recepto...
The active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), binds to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) with high affinity. The VDR then heterodimerizes with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) and associates with vitamin D response elements (VDREs) to regula...
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) were long regarded as independent transcription factors governing distinct physiology—xenobiotic sensing and calcium–vitamin D homeostasis, respectively. AHR, a basic he...
Due to its essential role in calcium and phosphate homeostasis, the secosteroid hormone calcitriol has received growing attention over the last few years. Calcitriol, like other steroid hormones, may function through both genomic and non-genomic mech...
Vitamin D hydroxylation in the liver/kidney results in conversion to its physiologically active form of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3]. 1,25(OH)2D3 controls gene expression through the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) mainly expressed in inte...
We recently established a KAIMRC1 cell line that has unique features compared to the known breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 and MDA-MB231. To characterize it further, we investigated the expression profile of nuclear receptors and their respective co-f...
Sustainable tourism in Indonesia is challenging because it must harmonize bringing in tourists and maintaining the sustainability of culture and nature. Environmental problems influence sustainability tourism in Indonesia. Aside from discussing the p...

The purpose of this review is to examine vitamin D in the context of sport nutrition and its potential role in optimizing athletic performance. Vitamin D receptors (VDR) and vitamin D response elements (VDREs) are located in almost every tissue withi...
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are notable for their persistence, bioaccumulation, and associations with cancer. Human nuclear receptors (hNRs) are primary targets disrupted by these persistent EDCs, resulting in alterations to xenobiotic meta...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive demyelination and axonal degeneration within the central nervous system, driven by complex genomic and epigenomic dysregulation. Its pathogenesis...
The hormonal vitamin D metabolite, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), produced primarily in the kidney, acts in numerous end-organs via the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) to trigger molecular events that orchestrate bone mineral homeostasis, immune r...
