  • Title: Isolation of an inhibitor of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1-hydroxylase from rat serum.
    Author: Botham KM, Ghazarian JG, Kream BE, DeLuca HF.
    Journal: Biochemistry; 1976 May 18; 15(10):2130-5. PubMed ID: 1276129.
    Abstract:
    An inhibitor of chick kidney mitochondrial 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1-hydroxylase has been isolated from rat serum by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, ionexchange chromatography, and preparative polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. The purified protein was shown to contain iron and has a mol wt of 52 000. The protein is indistinguishable on gel electrophoresis from a similar inhibitor found in rat kidney tissue. The physiological significance of the inhibitor is not known; however, it seems possible that it is responsible for the failure to demonstrate in vitro 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-l-hydroxylation with rat and other mammalian tissues.
