| Function | May have weak glycosidase activity towards glucuronylated steroids. However, it lacks essential active site Glu residues at positions 241 and 874, suggesting it may be inactive as a glycosidase in vivo. May be involved in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis by inhibiting the synthesis of active vitamin D. Essential factor for the specific interaction between FGF23 and FGFR1. |
| Subcellular Location | Klotho peptide: Secreted. |
| Tissue Specificity | Membrane-bound protein is present in distal renal tubules, inner ear, ependymal cells of brain choroid plexus, elongating spermatids and mature oocytes (at protein level). Soluble peptide is present in serum (100 pM) and cerebrospinal fluid. Expressed strongly in kidney, moderately in brain choroid plexus, and at low levels in pituitary, placenta, skeletal muscle, urinary bladder, aorta, pancreas, testis, ovary, colon, thyroid gland and adipocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10631108, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11411791, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12204354, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15135068, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15665504, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16123266, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9363890, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9537505}. |
