Intracellular distribution of the vitamin D receptor in the brain: Comparison with classic target tissues and redistribution with development
Highlights • The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is present in the rodent brain. • In the embryo, in the three tissues studied VDR is primarily nuclear. • Adult VDR is nuclear in the brain, but is also found in cell membranes in the gut and kidney. • VDR expression is lower in the brain compared to classic...

Summary: | Highlights • The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is present in the rodent brain. • In the embryo, in the three tissues studied VDR is primarily nuclear. • Adult VDR is nuclear in the brain, but is also found in cell membranes in the gut and kidney. • VDR expression is lower in the brain compared to classic VDR targets i.e. the gut and kidney. |
