Calcitriol (1,25(OH)2D3)

In humans, plain vitamin D (cholecalciferol), also called parental or native vitamin D, is photosynthesized in the skin and then hydroxylated in the liver into the vitamin D analog calcidiol [25(OH)D3], which is hydroxylated again in the kidney into the vitamin D analog calcitriol [1,25(OH)2D3].
