Secalciferol is a metabolite of Vitamin D, a possibly anti-inflammatory steroid. Secalciferol is a vitamin D3 metabolite which is involved in bone ossification. In addition, it is known that Secalciferol mediates calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. Also Secalciferol inhibits calcium channels in osteosarcoma cells via suppressing the effects of 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and testosterone. Alternate studies indicate that Secalciferol can decrease the abundance of p53 and Pi-induced cytochrome c translocation. Furthermore, Secalciferol can increase cell proliferation in resting zone (RC) chondrocytes and inhibits matrix enzymes by possibly inhibiting the degradation of the matrix.
