title: 1 beta, 25 (OH)2-vitamin D3 is an antagonist of 1 alpha,25 (OH)2-vitamin D3 stimulated transcaltachia (the rapid hormonal stimulation of intestinal calcium transport).
abstract: The steroid hormone 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 [1 alpha,25(OH)2D3] stimulates biological responses via both genomic mechanisms and nongenomic mechanisms (opening of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels). We report here that 1 beta, 25(OH)2-vitamin-D3 (a) is devoid of activity as an agonist for transcaltachia, (b) is a potent stereospecific antagonist of 1 alpha,25 (OH)2D3 stimulation of the nongenomic transcaltachia response and also (c) has less than 1% the ability of 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 to bind to the chick intestinal nuclear 1 beta,25(OH)2D3 receptor. We conclude that the membrane response element(s) which generates the nongenomic response of transcaltachia has a different ligand specificity than the classic nuclear 1 alpha, 25(OH)2D3 receptor.
