Ercalcitriol
Ercalcitriol (1α,25-Dihydroxy Vitamin D2) is the physiologically active form of vitamin D2. It enhances innate immunity by upregulating antimicrobial peptides like cathelicidin (CAMP) and defensin β-4 (DEFB4), making it a valuable tool for immunology and infectious disease research in both in vitro and in vivo models.
