Generic protein structure example

CYP2R1 is cytochrome P450 2R1, an enzyme which is the principal vitamin D 25-hydroxylase.[1][2] In humans it is encoded by the CYP2R1 gene located on chromosome 11p15.2.[3] It is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum in liver, where it performs the first step in the activation of vitamin D by catalyzing the formation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D.[4]

Vitamin D 25-hydroxylase activity is also possessed by some other cytochrome P450 enzymes, in particular CYP27A1, which is found in mitochondria.[4][5]

Function

Conversion of cholecalciferol to calcidiol as catalyzed by CYP2R1.

CYP2R1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes.[6] The cytochrome P450 proteins are mono-oxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids.[6]

CYP2R1 is present in the endoplasmic reticulum of the liver (the microsomal fraction). It has 25-hydroxylase activity, which converts cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) into calcifediol (25-hydroxyvitamin D3, also known as calcidiol), the major circulatory form of the vitamin.[4][5] CYP2R1 will also hydroxylate ergocalciferol (vitamin D2), derived from dietary sources, into 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 (ercalcidiol).[4] These 25-hydroxylated forms of vitamin D, together known as 25(OH)D, bind strongly to the vitamin D-binding protein in blood and are the principal circulating forms of vitamin D. These are commonly measured to determine a person's vitamin D status and establish vitamin D deficiency.[7]

Calcifediol is subsequently converted by the action of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-alpha-hydroxylase to calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3 which binds to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and mediates most of the physiological hormonal actions of vitamin D.[1]

Clinical significance

The conversion of vitamin D, especially cholecalciferol, to 25(OH)D (calcifediol) is one of the key steps in the vitamin D hormonal system. The CYP2R1 enzymatic activity achieving this process was previously thought to be constitutively expressed and stable, so that serum 25(OH)D was a measure of the supply of vitamin D.[5]

CYP2R1 is now known to be regulated, with variations in the expression and activity of CYP2R1 affecting circulating 25(OH)D.[5] Low levels of CYP2R1 activity have been found after 24 hour fasting, in obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes[8] and are decreased by glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone.[5] These conditions are known to be linked to low blood levels of 25(OH)D, where even large doses of vitamin D may not produce an improvement, which can be explained by enzyme activities being low.[5]

Polymorphic variations in CYP2R1

Polymorphic variations in the CYP2R1 gene have the greatest effect on individual serum 25(OH)D concentrations compared with other gene variations.[9] An inherited mutation in the CYP2R1 gene L99P, which results in the substitution of a proline for a leucine residue at codon 99, eliminates the enzyme activity and is associated with vitamin D-dependent rickets type IB. Another variant is K242N, where lysine at position 242 is substituted by asparagine, give a similar phenotype.[10] Symptoms are low circulating levels of 25(OH)D and classic symptoms of vitamin D deficiency.[1][11]

Studies in mice

Model organisms have been used in the study of CYP2R1 function. Mice have been generated with knockout of Cyp2r1 and both Cyp2r1 and Cyp27a1.[12] A conditional knockout mouse line called Cyp2r1tm1b(EUCOMM)Wtsi has been generated and animals have undergone a standardized phenotypic screen.[13][14]
