Calcitroic acid (1α-hydroxy-23-carboxy-24,25,26,27-tetranorvitamin D3) is a major metabolite of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol). Its formation is catalyzed by the enzyme CYP24A1, also called calcitriol 24-hydroxylase.[1] It is thought to be the major route to inactivate vitamin D metabolites.[2] Calcitroic acid is soluble in water and excreted in bile.

A recent review suggested that current knowledge of calcitroic acid is limited, and more studies are needed to identify its physiological role.[3]
