SKU: orb1300775

Description

Calcifediol is the major circulating metabolite of vitamin D3, formed via hepatic hydroxylation. As a direct precursor to the active hormone calcitriol, it is a key research tool for studying vitamin D metabolism, receptor signaling, and related pathways in both cellular and animal models of deficiency.
