Vitamin D active ligand (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 or calcitriol) normally binds to the VDR nuclear receptor, forming a heterodimer with the Retinoid X Receptor (RXR), which interacts with vitamin D response elements (VDREs) to regulate gene transcription (47)

Therefore, PPOs featuring a hydrophobic amino acid at the 2 nd activity controller position do most likely target substrates with a less polar aliphatic chain, whereas substrates with a negatively charged group at their aliphatic chain are more readily accepted by PPOs carrying an arginine at this position
