== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/VDR_HUMAN VDR_HUMAN]] Nuclear hormone receptor. Transcription factor that mediates the action of vitamin D3 by controlling the expression of hormone sensitive genes. Regulates transcription of hormone sensitive genes via its association with the WINAC complex, a chromatin-remodeling complex. Recruited to promoters via its interaction with the WINAC complex subunit BAZ1B/WSTF, which mediates the interaction with acetylated histones, an essential step for VDR-promoter association. Plays a central role in calcium homeostasis.<ref>PMID:16252006</ref> <ref>PMID:10678179</ref> <ref>PMID:15728261</ref> <ref>PMID:16913708</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The vitamin D nuclear receptor is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that controls multiple biological responses such as cell proliferation, immune responses, and bone mineralization. Numerous 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) analogues, which exhibit low calcemic side effects and/or antitumoral properties, have been synthesized. We recently showed that the synthetic analogue (20S,23S)-epoxymethano-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (2a) acts as a 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) superagonist and exhibits both antiproliferative and prodifferentiating properties in vitro. Using this information and on the basis of the crystal structures of human VDR ligand binding domain (hVDR LBD) bound to 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3), 2alpha-methyl-1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3), or 2a, we designed a novel analogue, 2alpha-methyl-(20S,23S)-epoxymethano-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (4a), in order to increase its transactivation potency. Here, we solved the crystal structures of the hVDR LBD in complex with the 4a (C23S) and its epimer 4b (C23R) and determined their correlation with specific biological outcomes.
