Term vitamin D catabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0042369 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of vitamin D, any of a group of related, fat-soluble compounds that are derived from delta-5,7 steroids and play a central role in calcium metabolism. Specific forms of vitamin D include calciferol (ergocalciferol; vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (calciol; vitamin D3).[ ISBN:0471331309 ]
Also Known As"vitamin D breakdown" ; "vitamin D catabolism" ; "vitamin D degradation"
