Vitamin D's metabolic product, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol), is actually a "secosteroid hormone" that is the key which unlocks binding sites on the human genome. The human genome contains more than 2,700 binding sites for calcitriol; those binding sites are near genes involved in virtually every known major disease of humans.
