Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 Signaling by Klotho

TL;DR: It is shown that Klotho protein directly binds to multiple FGF receptors (FGFRs) and significantly enhanced the ability of FGF23 to induce phosphorylation of F GF receptor substrate and ERK in various types of cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-specific Expression of βKlotho and Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) Receptor Isoforms Determines Metabolic Activity of FGF19 and FGF21

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Klotho and βKlotho, homologous single-pass transmembrane proteins that bind to FGFRs, are required for metabolic activity of FGF23 and FGF21, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Research resource: Comprehensive expression atlas of the fibroblast growth factor system in adult mouse.

TL;DR: This FGF atlas provides an important resource for guiding future studies to elucidate the physiological functions of FGFs in adult animals and shows that the most recently identified Klotho family member, Lactase-like, is highly and selectively expressed in brown adipose tissue and eye and can function as an additional coreceptor for FGF19.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of oxidative stress by the anti-aging hormone klotho

TL;DR: It is shown that Klotho protein increases resistance to oxidative stress at the cellular and organismal level in mammals and potentially contributes to the anti-aging properties of klotho.
