αKlotho is predominantly expressed in kidney and has important roles in regulation of mineral metabolism including calcium. αKlotho is also known to act as a co-receptor for fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Mice lacking functional αKlotho protein exhibit phenotypes resembling human aging. α-Klotho is a type I membrane protein with two glucosidase-like domains in a extracellular region. It is, however, still unclear how these glucosidase-like domains are utilized for the klotho function since the essential glutamate residues for enzymatic activity are not conserved in αKlotho. In this study, we investigated the role of HNK-1 and its related glycans in the functional regulation for FGF23 and αKlotho.
