25-Hydroxyvitamin D2?can be used as an analytical standard for the quantitative analysis of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D2?content in biological fluids via LC-MS/MS.
A metabolite of Vitamin D2 (V676040).
25-Hydroxyvitamin D2 may be used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the determination of the analyte in biological samples by chromatography techniques.
ChEBI: A hydroxycalciol that is vitamin D2 in which the hydrogen at position 25 has been replaced by a hydroxy group.
25-Hydroxyvitamin D2?(ergocalciferol or 25-hydroxycalciferol) is a metabolite of vitamin D found in the liver. It is one of the most common forms of vitamin D circulating in the body and plays an important role in determining vitamin D deficiency.
Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) is activated in vivo by hydroxylation to 25-hydroxyergocalciferol and 1α,25-dihydroxycalciferol. Activated Vitamin D2 molecules may be used in a wide range of studies to assess their effects on functions such as immune function and calcium homeostasis.
