The<unk>  <unk>  also known as the calcitriol receptor) is a member of the nuclear receptor family of transcription factors. Calcitriol (the active form of<unk>  D, 1,25-(OH)2vitamin D3) binds to<unk> , which then forms a heterodimer with the retinoid-X receptor. The<unk>  heterodimer then enters the nucleus and binds to<unk>  D responsive elements <unk> E) in genomic DNA.<unk>  binding results in expression or transrepression of many specific gene products.<unk>  is also involved in microRNA-directed post transcriptional mechanisms. In humans, the<unk>  is encoded by the<unk>  gene located on chromosome 12q13.11.<unk>  is expressed in most tissues of the body, and regulates transcription of genes involved in intestinal and renal transport of calcium and other minerals. Glucocorticoids decrease<unk>  expression. Many types of immune cells also express<unk> .
