“…3, we detected ␤-galactosidase activity in the renal cortex only. This observation is consistent with previous studies of isolated nephrons from vitamin D-deficient rats, chickens, and rabbits, all of which reported localization of 1␣-hydroxylase activity to the proximal tubules (52)(53)(54)(55). Given the extensive staining of the distal nephrons reported by Hewison and coworkers (28), our reporter assay system should have easily detected 1␣-hydroxylase promoter activity in the renal medulla.…”

“…Recent studies of Kawashima et al (11,12,20) and Akiba et al (10) have established the presence oftwo distinct 25(OH)D-lIa-hydroxylase systems in the mammalian kidney. Using microdissected nephron segments from rat and fetal rabbit kidney, these investigators localized enzyme activity in the PCT and PST.…”

“…The need to defi ne the enzyme in biochemical terms became urgent as soon as it became apparent that the 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1 ␣ -hydroxylase was a central regulatory axis of the calcium and phosphate homeostatic systems, subject to upregulation by parathyroid hormone (PTH), low Ca 2+ , and low PO 4 3-levels ( 1,61,62 ). It was quickly recognized that serum 1,25-(OH) 2 D 3 was predominantly made in the kidney ( 3,63 ), with a PTH-regulated form located in the proximal convoluted tubule and a calcitonin-regulated form in the proximal straight tubule (64)(65)(66)(67). Biochemical investigations showed that the enzyme involved was a mixedfunction oxidase with a cytochrome P450 component ( 68 ).…”
