basic FUNCTION	plays a pivotal role in vitamin D physiology by catalyzing synthesis of active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] (Wu 2007)
	putative intracrine modulator of vitamin D function in peripheral tissues
	acting predominantly on endochondral bone formation
	during pregnancy, calcitriol, the active metabolite of vitamin D, is metabolized by decidua and placental tissue by means of CYP27B1 and CYP24A1 for synthesis and inactivation of calcitriol respectively(PMIDC:
