Located in the nucleus of a variety of cells, the Vitamin D nuclear receptor (VDR) plays a crucial, often under-appreciated, role in the innate immune response.    ..is the body's first line of defense against, and non-specific way for responding to bacterial pathogens.

-Antimicrobial peptides are the body's natural antibiotics, crucial for both prevention and clearance of infection. The VDR also expresses the TLR2 receptor, which is expressed on the surface of certain cells and recognizes foreign substances.   2+Antimicrobial peptides are the body's natural antibiotics, crucial for both prevention and clearance of infection.
