vitamin D process
Description
This template shows vitamin D synthesis and metabolism, tracing how 80 percent of vitamin D is produced in the skin from UVB exposure through pro-vitamin D3, pre-vitamin D3, and cholecalciferol, while 20 percent comes from dietary vitamin D2 and D3. It follows hepatic conversion to calcidiol, renal conversion to active calcitriol, binding to VDR-RXR complexes for genomic signaling, and eventual inactivation to calcitroic acid for biliary excretion.
