- 24,25‑dihydroxycholecalciferol D3. Vitamin D metabolite that is biologically active in cartilage.
- 25(OH)D or 25(OH)D3
- 25‑hydroxyvitamin D, or 25‑hydroxycholecalciferol. see calcidiol.
- 25(OH)D3‑1‑hydroxylase
- Enzyme found in the kidneys, where it converts 25(OH)D to 1,25(OH)2D.
- 24R,25(OH)2D3
- 24R,25‑dihydroxyvitamin D3. A natural vitamin D metabolite essential for development of normal bone integrity and healing of fractures.

- 19‑Nor‑1,25‑(OH)2D2
- 19‑nor‑1,25‑dihydroxyvitamin D2. see Paricalcitol.
- 22‑oxacalcitriol (OCT)
- Vitamin D analogue similar to 1,25(OH)2D3, differing only due to an oxygen atom replacing carbon‑22 on the side chain. OCT has demonstrated an ability to suppress PTH synthesis and secretion, both in vitro and in vivo.
- 25‑hydroxyvitamin D
- see calcidiol.
- 25‑hydroxyvitamin D test
- Also known as 25(OH)D test. Test that measures the amount of calcidiol circulating in the blood. The most accurate measure of the amount of vitamin D in the body. see blood calcidiol level.
- 28‑kilodalton calbindin‑D
- Vitamin D‑induced calcium‑binding protein.
- 7‑dehydrocholesterol
- Provitamin D3. A cholesterol precursor whose presence in the skin enables the synthesis of vitamin D3 cholecalciferol from ultraviolet B rays in sunlight.
- 7‑dehydrositosterol
- Sterol which serves as a precursor for sitocalciferol (vitamin D5).
