Specific high affinity receptors for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 have been demonstrated in the human testes. The mean binding affinity (Kd.+-. SD) of the receptor for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 was 1.75 .+-. 0.32 .times. 10-10 M but the binding capacity was low (mean NMax .+-. SD = 0.53 .+-. 0.18 fmol/mg protein). Binding was time- and temperature-dependent, with a maximum binding achieved after 1 h at 25.degree. C. Although binding also took place at 4 and 37.degree. C, higher and more rapid binding was found at 25.degree. C. Furthermore, the binding between the ligand and the receptor was specific since only unlabelled 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 competed with the labelled ligand. Binding of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 was abolished by trypsin and heat. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation revealed a sedimentation coefficient of 3.6S.
