Calcitroic acid is a metabolite of calcitriol, the hormonally active form of vitamin D3. This compound results from the catabolism of calcitriol in the liver and is eventually excreted in bile. Calcitroic acid plays a role in regulating calcium levels in the body by signaling the end of the vitamin D lifecycle, ensuring that vitamin D levels remain balanced. Its study is crucial for understanding vitamin D metabolism and its implications on bone health and calcium homeostasis.
