Background: Klotho

Klotho, also called alpha-Klotho ( alpha-Klotho), is the founding member that along with beta-Klotho and gamma-Klotho, form the Klotho family within the glycosidase-1 superfamily (1, 2). alpha-Klotho is a type I transmembrane protein consisting of a large extracellular domain (ECD) containing glycosidase-like domains (KL1 and KL2), a single transmembrane domain and a short intracellular domain. Alternative mRNA splicing of the ECD of alpha-Klotho results in a circulating protein known as soluble alpha-Klotho (s-Klotho), which has been detected in both humans and mice (3, 4). In addition to the s-Klotho form, a 130 kDa form found in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid and a prominent intracellular 120 kDa form of alpha-Klotho have also been identified (3, 4). The mature ECD of full length human alpha-Klotho shares 87% and 90% identity with mouse and rat alpha-Klotho, respectively. Due to highly conserved sequences between alpha-Klotho forms, it is difficult to differentiate s-klotho from the other short forms in vivo (5). Although alpha-Klotho was identified ~20 years ago, its function remains incompletely understood. alpha-Klotho shows weak glucuronidase activity which activates the renal ion channel TRPV5 to reabsorb urinary calcium (10). alpha-Klotho acts as a cofactor for interaction of FGF-23 with FGF R1 (6). This interaction negatively regulates 1 alpha -hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of 1,25(OH)2D3 (vitamin D) (7). s-Klotho functions as a hormonal factor and is involved in anti-aging, anti-oxidation, modulation of ion-transport, and Wnt signaling (8). Both alpha-Klotho and beta-Klotho are cofactors for FGF19 binding (9). The phenotype of alpha-Klotho-deficient mice resembles premature aging, including arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, skin atrophy, infertility, emphysema and premature death (2). alpha-Klotho deficient mice show severe hyperphosphatemia and ectopic calcification of soft tissues due to excess vitamin D (2-7). Conversely, excess alpha-Klotho extends lifespan (6).
