Catabolic inactivation of the active, hormonal form of vitamin D3 (calcitriol, CALTOL, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) is initially carried out by 24-hydroxylation, mediated by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1). The product formed is eventually transformed to calcitroic acid, the major water-soluble metabolite that can be excreted in bile. Defects in CYP24A1 can cause hypercalcemia infantile (HCAI; MIM:143880), a disorder characterised by abnormally high level of calcium in the blood, failure to thrive, vomiting, dehydration, and nephrocalcinosis (Schlingmann et al. 2011).
