Summary: | The development of novel gene expression systems for cytochrome P450s (CYPs) together with a revolution in analytical mass spectrometry with the emergence of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) has opened the door to answering some long-standing questions in Vitamin D metabolism. Our studies focused on: (1) elucidating the role of CYP24 in 25-OH-D
3 and 1α,25-(OH)
2D
3 metabolism; (2) exploring how DBP influences this process; (3) measuring 25-OH-D
3 metabolism in CYP24–knockout (CYP24–XO) cells and; (4) comparing 1α-OH-D
2 metabolism in the CYP24-XO mouse in vivo and in vitro. Methodology employed CYP24 over-expression and knockout systems in conjunction with state-of-the-art analytical LC/MS, diode array, and radioisotopic detection methods. We found that CYP24 metabolizes 25-OH-D

3 at similar rates in vitro, but that for 25-OH-D
3 but not 1α,25-(OH)

3, this rate is strongly influenced by the concentration of DBP. Unlike their wild type littermates, the administration of 25-OH-D
3 to CYP24-XO mice results in no measurable 24,25-(OH)
