'''7-Dehydrocholesterol''' ('''7-DHC''') is a ] that functions in the ] as a ] precursor, and is ] converted to ] in the ], therefore functioning as ]-D<sub>3</sub>. The presence of this compound in human skin enables humans to manufacture vitamin D<sub>3</sub> (]).

==Location ==
The skin consists of two primary layers: an inner layer, the ], comprising largely ], and an outer, thinner ]. The thickness of the epidermis ranges from 0.08&nbsp;mm to greater than 0.6&nbsp;mm (from 0.003 to 0.024 inches).<ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Martini F, Timmons MJ, Tallitsch RB | date = 2006 | title = Human Anatomy | publisher = Pearson/Benjamin-Cummings Publishers | page = 89 | isbn = 0-8053-7211-3 }}</ref> The epidermis comprises five ''strata''; from outer to inner, they are the ], ], ], ], and ].

==Radiation==
Synthesis of pre-vitamin D<sub>3</sub> in the skin involves ], which effectively penetrates only the epidermal layers of skin. 7-Dehydrocholesterol absorbs UV light most effectively at ]s between 295 and 300 ] and, thus, the production of vitamin D<sub>3</sub> will occur primarily at those wavelengths.<ref name="pmid6281884">{{cite journal | vauthors = MacLaughlin JA, Anderson RR, Holick MF | title = Spectral character of sunlight modulates photosynthesis of previtamin D3 and its photoisomers in human skin | journal = Science | volume = 216 | issue = 4549 | pages = 1001–3 | date = May 1982 | pmid = 6281884 | doi = 10.1126/science.6281884 | url = }}</ref> The two most important factors that govern the generation of pre-vitamin D<sub>3</sub> are the quantity (intensity) and quality (appropriate wavelength) of the UVB irradiation reaching the 7-dehydrocholesterol deep in the stratum basale and stratum spinosum.<ref name = "Norman_1998" /> Light-emitting diodes (]s) can be used to produce the radiation.<ref name="pmid28904394">{{cite journal | vauthors = Kalajian TA, Aldoukhi A, Veronikis AJ, Persons K, Holick MF | title = Ultraviolet B Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) Are More Efficient and Effective in Producing Vitamin D3 in Human Skin Compared to Natural Sunlight | journal = Scientific Reports | volume = 7 | issue = 1 | pages = 11489 | date = September 2017 | pmid = 28904394 | pmc = 5597604 | doi = 10.1038/s41598-017-11362-2 | url = }}</ref>

Another important consideration is the quantity of 7-dehydrocholesterol present in the skin.
