Abstract

Vitamin D 3 or a potent metabolite, 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, induces calcium-binding protein (CaBP) synthesis and stimulates transmucosal calcium transport in embryonic chick duodena maintained in novel organ culture apparatus. When added to the sterol-free culture medium, highly purified chick intestinal CaBP, similarly and specifically, stimulates calcium transport in the cultured duodena. These results clearly demonstrate the involvement of CaBP in intestinal calcium transport.
