Vitamin D2

SKU: orb1309818

Description

Ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2) is a secosterol derived from ergosterol via UV irradiation. It acts as a DNA polymerase inhibitor and has been shown in research to suppress sodium saccharin-promoted bladder tumorigenesis in vivo and to induce differentiation in leukemia cells in vitro.
