Moreover, FGF23 would be the most important marker for prognosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD) . On the other hand, Klotho was firstly developed as a responsible gene for senescence. Although the role of Klotho has been so far established as a co-receptor for FGF23 in mineral metabolism, Klotho would play rather various roles than FGF23 signaling. Thus Klotho is not necessarily equivalent to FGF23. Further studies for both Klotho and FGF23 will elucidate to understand mineral homeostasis.Read More
