Annual review of biochemistry, 1976•annualreviews.orgThe future for vitamin D research is an extremely bright one for biochemical investigations at
the level of mechanism of action, at the level of continued investiga tion into the metabolism
of vitamin D to its excretory products, and in terms of the regulation of functional vitamin D
metabolism. In addition, a fruitful area of analog synthesis has opened up which may permit
the synthesis of compounds that can carry out specific functions of the vitamin. Finally, the
medical and agricultural applications of the metabolites and their analogs may prove to be …

In addition, a fruitful area of analog synthesis has opened up which may permit the synthesis of compounds that can carry out specific functions of the vitamin. Finally, the medical and agricultural applications of the metabolites and their analogs may prove to be an important practical reward for the basic biochemical work of the past few years.
