Qlyser 25-OH-VD Test Kit

25-OH-VD  Test Kit (Immunofluorescence Assay) is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of 25-OH-VD in human serum, plasma and whole blood samples. This test may help understand the metabolic changes of bone.

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble precursor for steroid-like hormone. It transformed into the biologically active molecule 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D. After being synthesized in the skin or absorbed (in chylomicrons) from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, most vitamin D is bound to specific carrier proteins in the blood (vitamin D-binding protein [DBP] and albumin) and transported to the liver. In the Iiver, vitamin D is hydroxylated by the enzyme 25-hydroxylase (CYP2R1) to become 25(OH)D. 25(OH)D is the major circulating form of vitamin D, testing of 25(OH)D help assessing the total-body vitamin D status, Vitamin D is a major contributor for maintaining bone health, and vitamin D deficiency is also related with Immunomodulation, diabetes, kinds of cancer, cardiovas- cular disease, autoimmune disease, congenital immune disease.
