PhysiologyCalcium is absorbed mainly in the duodenum and jejunum by an active transport mechanism regulated by 1,25 (OH)2 D3 (calcitriol). It is transported across the brush border of intestinal epithelial cells via TRPV6 channels and binds to calbindin. The absorbed calcium is then delivered to the basolateral membrane by calbindin, and from there it is transported into the bloodstream by either the sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX) or calcium-dependent ATPase.
