Zusammenfassung
Introduction: Vitamin D (VitD) is classically activated via hepatic 25-hydroxylation and renal 1α-hydroxylation, leading to the production of bioactive 1,25(OH)₂D₃. Keratinocytes possess the entire enzymatic machinery for local VitD activation. Although it is known that keratinocytes are able to produce VitD3 from 7-dehydrocholesterol via UVB light exposure and hydroxylated vitamin D metabolites, their role in contributing to an increase in plasma 25(OH)D levels is rather unkown. In addition, there is scarce information on whether basal keratinocytes differ from differentiated keratinocytes in UVB-exposed synthe…
