Colecalciferol is metabolised by microsomal hydroxylase to form 25-hydroxycolecalciferol (25(OH)D 3, calcidiol), the primary storage form of vitamin D 3. 25(OH)D 3 undergoes a secondary hydroxylation within the kidney to form the predominant active metabolite 1,25-hydroxycolecalciferol (1,25(OH) 2D 3, calcitriol).
