Abstract

The oxygen enzymically inserted as a hydroxy function by rat liver post-mitochondrial fraction into the 25-position of cholecalciferol to giver 25-hydroxycholecaliferol is derived exclusively from molecular O2. Therefore like the other two cholecalciferol hydroxylases, i.e. 25-hydroxycholecalciferol 1alpha-hydroxylase and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol 24-hydroxylase, the cholecalciferol 25-hydroxylase is also a mono-oxygenase ('mixed-function oxidase').
