3.25-hydroxy-vitamin D then travels to the kidneys, where the enzyme 1-alpha-hydroxylase converts it to 1,25 hydroxy-vitamin D, or calcitriol, which is the active form of vitamin D.
4.At the same time, it stimulates production of calcitriol which promotes absorption of calcium in the small intestine, while also increases reabsorption in the kidney.
5.The parathyroid hormone gets the bones to release calcium, and gets the kidneys to reabsorb more calcium so it's not lost in the urine as well as synthesize calcitriol also known as 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol also known as active vitamin D.
