FGF23 is involved in the pathogenesis in many forms of hypophosphatemia including the autosomal dominant and recessive types, the X-linked type and the tumor-induced type. Alpha klotho, originally discovered as an anti-aging factor, along with the FGF receptor type 1 makes a specific receptor for FGF23.Read More
