A radioreceptor assay for 1 a, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (la, 25-(OH) 2-D3) has been developed by utilizing competitive binding to the receptor system from chick intestinal muco-sa. This target tissue binding system consists of a high affinity cytosol receptor protein and acceptor sites on nuclear chromatin. Reconstituted cytosol-chromatin is incubated with ra-dioactive la, 25-(OH) 2-D3, and the bound and free sterol are separated by trapping the hormone-receptor-chromatin com-plex on glass fiber filters. Washing away of free or nonspecifi-cally bound sterol is carried out with 1% Triton X-100. The amount of specifically bound sterol is linearly related to the quantity of cytosol-chromatin in the incubation and the receptor system is saturated at 5 nM la, 25-(OH) 2-[3H] D3. An iso-tope-dilution standard curve obtained with increasing amounts of authentic nonradioactive la, 25-(OH) 2-D3 indicates that 17 pg of hormone can be detected by this assay. After extraction and extensive purification of the suspected la, 25-(OH) 2-D3 fraction from normal chickand human plasma, the circulating-^^. pparently, 1 a, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(la, 25-(OH) 2-D3)'is the metabolite of vitamin D3 that mediates the biochemical events that result in increased calcium absorption from the intestine (Haussler et al., 1971; Holick et al., 1971) and bone calcium resorption (Holick et al., 1972; Wong et al., 1972) in experimental animals. This metabo-lite is produced by hydroxylation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-D3) in the kidney and is considered to be the hormonal formof the vitamin (Fraser and Kodicek, 1970; Lawson et al., 1971; Gray et al., 1971). In order to study further the metabolism of vitamin D3 to la, 25-(OH) 2-D3 as well as investigate the role of this hormone in calcium me-tabolism in humans, we have developed a sensitive, competitive protein binding assay for la, 25-(OH) 2-D3 utilizing the hormone’s chromatin receptor in the chick intestine. Assays of steroid hormones employing their respective cytoplasmic receptors have been reported (Korenman, 1968; Ballard and Baxter, 1974). These intracellular proteins are ideally suited for measurement of hormone binding activity due to their great specificity and affinity (Jensen et al., 1971). How-ever, the observed thermolability of the chick intestinal cytoplasmic receptor for la, 25-(OH) 2-D3 precluded our develop-ment of an assay for the hormone using this protein alone. Re-cent experiments (Brumbaugh and Haussler, 1973, 1974a, b) also indicate that the chromatin receptor for la, 25-(OH) 2-D3 has an affinity and specificity for this hormone similar to that of the cytosol receptor. In addition, once the la, 25-(OH) 2-
