FGF-23 (mouse):Fc (human) (rec.)

Recombinant protein. Mouse FGF-23 (aa25-251) is fused at the C-terminus to the Fc portion of human IgG1. Activates ERK and FRS2alpha phosphorylation in Klotho expressing cells. Source/Host: HEK 293 cells. Purity: >90% (SDS-PAGE). Lyophilized. Contains PBS. FGF-23 (Fibroblast growth factor 23) is a regulator of phosphate homeostasis. It upregulates EGR1 expression in the presence of KLBy. Acts directly on the parathyroid to decrease PTH secretion. Regulates the vitamin-D metabolism. Negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralization. Defects in FGF-23 are the cause of autosomal dominant hypophosphataemic rickets (ADHR) and of hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC).
