Description: Ercalcitriol (1alpha,25-Dihydroxy Vitamin D2) is an active metabolite of vitamin D2 that strengthens immunity by regulating cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) and defensin beta-4 (DEFB4) genes in normal and transformed cells, combating pathogenic infections. Target: Others. Smiles: C[C@H](\C=C\[C@H](C)C(C)(C)O)[C@H]1CC[C@H]2\C(CCC[C@]12C)=C\C=C1\C[C@@H](O)C[C@H](O)C1=C.
