A microsomal enzyme isolated from human and mouse liver that bioactivates vitamin D3. While multiple isoforms (CYP27A1, CYP2J2/3, CYP3A4, CYP2D25 and CYP2C11) are able to catalyse the reaction in vitro, only CYP2R1 is thought to catalyse the reaction in humans in vivo . The direct electron donor to the enzyme is EC 1.6.2.4, NADPH---hemoprotein reductase.

enzyme-deficient Cyp2r1-/- mice show greater than 50% reduction in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 level, while the 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 level in the serum remains unchanged. A double knockout of Cyp2r1 and Cyp27a1, the enzyme responsible for the 1alpha-hydroxylation step, maintain a similar circulating level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
the cross talk from the bone to the testis of the vitamin D 25-hydroxylase CYP2R1 involves osteocalcin, which is produced by the osteoblasts and stimulates the production of testosterone by the Leydig cells through its putative receptor GPRC6A, a cation-sensing G-protein-coupled receptor. Action of osteocalcin on CYP2R1 expression and 25-hydroxyvitamin D production in a mouse Leydig cell line MA-10
the absence of either of the two key hydroxylases, i.e., 25-hydroxylase and 1alpha-hydroxylase, neither inhibits nor enhances the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in a mice model
expression of CYP2R1 in HEK 293 cells leads to the transcriptional activation of the vitamin D receptor when either vitamin D2 or D3 is added to the medium. Co-expression of CYP2R1 with vitamin D 1-hydroxylase CYP27B1 elicits additive activation of vitamin D3, whereas co-expression with vitamin D 24-hydroxylase CYP24A1 causes inactivation
CYP2R1 is a major, but not exclusive, contributor to 25-hydroxyvitamin D production in vivo. A second enzyme is another contributor to this important step in vitamin D activation

the luteinizing hormone induces the enzyme. MA-10 cell stimulation with either human chorionic gonadotropin or uncarboxylated-osteocalcin increases CYP2R1 protein expression in a dose-dependent manner and, in turn, increases the release of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D in culture medium. Osteocalcin, in particular uncarboxylated osteocalcin, stimulates 25-hydroxylation of vitamin D in Leydig cells through a direct effect on the expression of the main actor in the 25-hydroxylase activity of vitamin D, the CYP2R1 protein
experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis development is markedly suppressed in mice lacking the vitamin D receptor and partially suppressed in vitamin D-insufficient mice. The absence of either of the two key hydroxylases, i.e., 25-hydroxylase and 1alpha-hydroxylase, neither inhibits nor enhances the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
