It consists of approximately 130 kDa and is expressed mainly in the kidneys brain and parathyroid gland. This membrane-bound protein may also exist in a soluble form after cleavage by specific enzymes. Alpha Klotho functions as a co-receptor for fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) facilitating phosphate and vitamin D metabolism regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAlpha Klotho influences several cellular processes such as aging and mineral ion homeostasis. As a part of the FGF23-Klotho complex it enables the fibroblast growth factor to exert its biological effects. This protein modulates the effects of FGF23 on the renal excretion of phosphate and the synthesis of vitamin D. By interacting with FGF23 alpha Klotho supports maintaining electrolyte balance vital for proper physiological functioning.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe FGF23-Klotho axis integrates into significant signaling pathways regulating mineral metabolism and aging. Klotho protein interactions with FGF23 contribute to controlling phosphate homeostasis by inhibiting renal phosphate reabsorption and suppressing vitamin D synthesis. It also engages with other proteins notably the fibroblast growth factors to regulate aging-related pathways ensuring cellular longevity and repair mechanisms are optimized.\u003cbr\u003e\nUnderstanding Klotho's role helps in managing conditions like chronic kidney disease and some neurological disorders. Research indicates that reduced levels of alpha Klotho may correspond to kidney dysfunction due to its critical role in mineral metabolism. Furthermore alterations in Klotho expression connect with neurodegenerative diseases implicating its interaction with other proteins such as amyloid precursor protein and tau which are significant in disorders like Alzheimer's disease.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843853340841,"sku":"ab310803","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab310803","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
