    text
  • FGF23 and AHSG proteins co-localized both in cytoplasm and nucleus, which suggests a possible reciprocal interactivity
  • basic FUNCTION
  • physiological regulator of phosphate homeostasis
  • acting as a hormone and regulating kidney functions
  • key humoral factor in phosphate homeostasis and skeletogenesis
  • hormone that regulates serum phosphate level in contrast to other FGF family members that work as local factors
  • hormone-like factor that is thought to play an important role in phosphate homeostasis
  • hormone that regulates serum phosphate and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels
  • hormone regulating phosphate and calcitriol metabolism, that has unveiled the mechanisms that coordinate these renal proximal tubule functions
  • reduces renal absorption of phosphate by downregulating the sodium-phosphate cotransporter SLC34A1
  • regulates phosphate homeostasis in kidney
  • FGF19 and FGF21 can regulate glucose, lipid, and energy metabolism, while FGF23 regulates phosphate homeostasis
  • acts on kidney to inhibit phosphate reabsorption and vitamin D synthesis
  • bone-derived endocrine regulator of phosphate homeostasis which inhibits renal tubular phosphate reabsorption
  • play crucial roles in the regulation of phosphate homeostasis
  • hormone released primarily by osteocytes that regulates phosphate and vitamin D metabolism
  • bone/heart endocrine factor and may be an important mediator of cardiac Ca(2+) regulation and contractile function during chronic kidney disease
  • WNT-independent function of FGF23 in the regulation of phosphate homeostasis
  • FGF23, not KL, is a calcium-conserving hormone in the kidney
  • bone-derived hormone protecting against the potentially deleterious effects of hyperphosphatemia by suppression of phosphate reabsorption and of active vitamin D hormone synthesis in the kidney
  • acts independently on proximal and distal tubular epithelium
  • role of FGF23/FGFR4 signaling in the regulation of cardiac remodeling and function
  • FGF19, FGF21 and FGF23 are circulating hormones that regulate critical metabolic processes in a variety of tissues
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS active transport

    PATHWAY
    metabolism other
    signaling
  • renal FGF23-KL signaling, which is disrupted in chronic kidney disease, is essential for homeostatic control of mineral metabolism
  • a component
  • part of the FGF23-klotho axis (disorders of FGF23-klotho axis alter life span and are involved in senescence)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
  • polyP, an inorganic biomaterial used for bone regeneration, is able to stimulate FGF23 expression through activation of the FGFR pathway, suggesting a role for polyP in modulating mineral ion metabolism (PMIS: 23085229)
  • protein
  • binding to KL
  • induced expression of not only EGR1 but also NAB2 in the presence of Klotho
  • FGF23/KL signaling is not essential for the phosphaturic and anabolic functions of PTH
  • FGF23 binding to FGFR3 was enhanced in the presence of KL
  • apical membrane abundance of TRPV5 in renal distal tubules and thus renal calcium reabsorption are regulated by FGF23, which binds the FGF receptor-KL complex and activates a signaling cascade
  • PTH activates the orphan nuclear receptor NR4A2 to induce FGF23 transcription
  • FGF23 promotes left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH by activating FGFR4
  • AHSG is produced in bone, mainly in osteocytes, and its production is modulated by FGF23
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other regulated by PHEX as part of a potential hormonal axis between bone and kidney that controls systemic phosphate homeostasis and mineralization
    regulated by PHEX and DMP1 (regulate FGF23 expression in osteocytes through a common pathway involving FGF receptor (FGFR) signaling)
    the regulation of FGF23 by both calcium and phosphorus appears to be fundamentally important in coordinating the serum levels of both mineral ions and ensuring that the calcium × phosphorus product remains within a physiological range
