Establishment of the Anti-Klotho Monoclonal Antibodies and Detection of Klotho Protein in Kidneys
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2000A novel gene, klotho (kl), which is involved in the development of a syndrome resembling human aging in mice, was recently identified. The kl gene encodes a single-pass membrane protein whose extracellular domain carries homology to beta-glucosidases. There also exists a splice variant of kl mRNA which encodes a putative secreted protein in both human ...

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2012
The klotho gene was originally identified as a putative aging-suppressor gene in mice that extended life span when overexpressed and induced a premature aging syndrome when disrupted. Subsequently, it became clear that the Klotho family of membrane proteins function as obligate co-receptors for endocrine fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) that regulate ...

Endocrine fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) have been recognized as hormones that regulate a variety of metabolic processes. FGF19 is secreted from intestine upon feeding and acts on liver to suppress bile acid synthesis. FGF21 is secreted from liver upon fasting and acts on adipose tissue to promote lipolysis and responses to fasting. FGF23 is secreted

Klotho protein deficiency and aging
Geriatrics & Gerontology International, 2010Aging is inevitable; however, the molecular mechanism of aging has not been fully elucidated. Investigations into aging are facing difficulties because aging is influenced by complex factors such as circumstances, living habits and genetic background.

The Klotho proteins in health and disease
Nature Reviews Nephrology, 2018The Klotho proteins, αKlotho and βKlotho, are essential components of endocrine fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor complexes, as they are required for the high-affinity binding of FGF19, FGF21 and FGF23 to their cognate FGF receptors (FGFRs). Collectively, these proteins form a unique endocrine system that governs multiple metabolic processes in ...

Overview of the FGF23-Klotho axis
Pediatric Nephrology, 2009Recent studies have identified a novel bone-kidney endocrine axis that maintains phosphate homeostasis. When phosphate is in excess, fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is secreted from bone and acts on the kidney to promote phosphate excretion into urine and suppress vitamin D synthesis, thereby inducing negative phosphate balance.

Toward a Better Understanding of Klotho
Science of Aging Knowledge Environment, 2006klotho mutant mice were originally described as a short-lived mouse model with premature aging-like disorders. The klotho gene responsible for these phenotypes encodes a type I membrane protein with a considerable similarity to β-glycosidase.

Klotho: a novel biomarker for cancer
Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 2014The Klotho gene was originally identified as an anti-aging gene in 1997. Recent studies have demonstrated aberrant expression of Klotho in a number of cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and so on.A literature search focusing on dysregulation of Klotho and its possible mechanisms in cancer was performed ...

During the evolution of skeletons, vertebrates acquired the bone made of calcium phosphate. By keeping the extracellular fluid in a supersaturated condition regarding calcium and phosphate, vertebrates create the bone when and where they want simply by providing a cue for precipitation.

Klotho Prevents Translocation of NFκB
2016Klotho protein is a β-glucuronidase capable of hydrolyzing steroid β-glucuronides. Two molecules are produced by the Klotho gene, a membrane bound form and a circulating form. This protein is recognized as an antiaging gene with pleiotropic functions.
