7 Vitamin D has many functions! Muehleisen B1, Gallo RL. Vitamin D in allergic disease: shedding light on a complex problem. J Allergy Clin Immunol Feb;131(2): doi: /j.jaci

8 Vitamin D Functions for the Barrier Functions in skin barrier Promotes keratinocyte differentiation Increases synthesis of barrier proteins involucrin,transglutaminase, loricrin and filaggrin Increases lipid content of barrier by processing of long chain glycosylceramides and transport into lamellar bodies Skin Pharmacol Physiol 2018;31:74 86

9 VDRE found in the promotor of cathelicidin gene (CAMP) Addition of 1,25(OH)2D3 to human keratinocytes induces cathelicidin production
