A ball-and-stick structural diagram of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol, Vit D3), a secosteroid molecule within the vitamin D endocrine system. In biochemistry and endocrinology, this prohormone is synthesized in the skin epidermis from 7-dehydrocholesterol under UVB (ultraviolet B) light and is converted to calcitriol, which binds the VDR (vitamin D receptor) to regulate calcium and phosphate balance, supporting bone mineralization and intestinal calcium absorption. The graphic highlights the open B-ring typical of steroid-derived secosteroids.
