Vitamin D5

Description:

Vitamin D5, also known as 22-dihydroergocalciferol, is a lesser-known member of the vitamin D family, which plays a crucial role in calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a steroid-like backbone with specific functional groups that allow it to interact with vitamin D receptors. Vitamin D5 is synthesized in certain fungi and is thought to have similar biological activity to other forms of vitamin D, although its efficacy and role in human health are not as well established as those of Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). The substance is typically found in dietary supplements and may contribute to overall vitamin D levels when consumed. Its CAS number, 71761-06-3, is used for identification in chemical databases. While research on Vitamin D5 is limited, it is important to consider its potential effects on bone health and immune function, similar to other vitamin D compounds. Further studies are needed to fully understand its biological significance and therapeutic potential.

Vitamin d5

CAS: 71761-06-3

Vitamin D5 is a synthetic analog of vitamin D, which is derived through chemical synthesis processes. It functions by regulating calcium and phosphate metabolism, similar to other vitamin D analogs, and interacts with the vitamin D receptor (VDR) to modulate gene expression. This modulation plays a critical role in cell growth, differentiation, and immune system regulation.
