Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The kidney has a pivotal role for phosphate homeostasis. Glomerular filtered phosphate is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule. The phosphate transporters are expressed at the proximal epitherial cells, and they regulate phosphate reabsorption. Klotho is expressed in distal tubule and is involved in the regulation of phosphate metabolism, but its detailed mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we revealed a novel mechanism that klotho directly regulates phosphate transporter at proximal tubule via megalin.
