The target cells of calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, are primarily located in the intestines, kidneys, and bones. In the intestines, it promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphate. In the kidneys, it enhances the reabsorption of calcium, reducing its excretion. In bone, calcitriol regulates the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, influencing bone remodeling and mineralization.
