Many new aspects of vitamin D have appeared. New roles for vitamin D in reproduction, parathyroid function, skin proliferation and differentiation, in myeloid cell differentiation, and as anti-cancer agents are reviewed. How the vitamin D hormone and its receptor bring about gene expression and how these expressed genes bring about cellular functions of the vitamin D system are considered. The molecular mechanism of regulation of the hydroxylases of the vitamin D endocrine system is discussed.
