Biological function summary
Alpha 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.
Pathways
The 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.
