Protein Function
Regulator of phosphate homeostasis (By similarity). Inhibits renal tubular phosphate transport by reducing SLC34A1 levels (By similarity). Regulator of vitamin-D metabolism (By similarity). Negatively regulates osteoblasts differentiation and matrix mineralization (By similarity). Acts ly on the parathyroid to decrease PTH secretion. Upregulates EGR1 expression in the presence of KL.
Background
Fibroblast growth factor 23 or FGF23 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF23 gene. It is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family which is responsible for phosphate metabolism. The main function of FGF23 seems to be regulation of phosphate concentration in plasma. FGF23 is secreted by Osteocytes in response to elevated Calcitriol. And it acts on the kidneys, where it decreases the expression of NPT2, a sodium-phosphate cotransporter in the proximal tubule. Thus, FGF23 decreases the reabsorption and increases excretion of phosphate. Also, FGF23 may suppress 1-alpha-hydroxylase, reducing its ability to activate vitamin D and subsequently impairing calcium absorption.
