GenAge entry for FGF23 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 259)

HGNC symbol: FGF23
Aliases
Common name: fibroblast growth factor 23

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
Description: FGF23-null mice have a short lifespan and develop features resembling premature ageing. This appears to be a vitamin D-mediated process similar to that observed in klohto (KL) mice [1853]. KL has been shown to be an essential cofactor for activation of FGF signaling by FGF23 [1851]. Though inconclusive at present, FGF23 might play some role in ageing.
