Summary: Enables calcitriol binding activity; nuclear receptor activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amyloid-beta; negative regulation of bone trabecula formation; and positive regulation of parathyroid hormone secretion. Located in several cellular components, including T-tubule; chromatin; and nuclear lumen. Used to study vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A. Biomarker of retinal degeneration and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); liver disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and melanoma (multiple). Orthologous to human VDR (vitamin D receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
