Rabbit anti-Human FGF23 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9GZV9

Target Species

Human

Target Name

FGF23

Target Full Name

Fibroblast growth factor 23

Target Function

Regulator of phosphate homeostasis. Inhibits renal tubular phosphate transport by reducing SLC34A1 levels. Upregulates EGR1 expression in the presence of KL. Acts directly on the parathyroid to decrease PTH secretion. Regulator of vitamin-D metabolism. Negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation and matrix mineralization.

Target Involvement

Hypophosphatemic rickets, autosomal dominant (ADHR); Tumoral calcinosis, hyperphosphatemic, familial (HFTC)

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted. Note=Secretion is dependent on O-glycosylation.

Target Protein Families

Heparin-binding growth factors family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in osteogenic cells particularly during phases of active bone remodeling. In adult trabecular bone, expressed in osteocytes and flattened bone-lining cells (inactive osteoblasts).

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the fibroblast growth factor family of proteins, which possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes. The product of this gene regulates phosphate homeostasis and transport in the kidney. The full-length, functional protein may be deactivated via cleavage into N-terminal and C-terminal chains. Mutation of this cleavage site causes autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR). Mutations in this gene are also associated with hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC).
