TRPV5 is mainly expressed in kidney epithelial cells, where it plays an important role in the reabsorption of Ca 2+, [10] whereas TRPV6 is mainly expressed in the intestine. [9] The enzyme α-klotho increases kidney calcium reabsorption by stabilizing TPRV5. [9] Klotho is a beta-glucuronidase-like enzyme that activates TRPV5 by removal of ...
Declining Klotho levels with age are linked to age-related disorders such as cognitive decline, chronic kidney disease, and cancer. Klothea Bio is pioneering a novel approach using mRNA technology to enhance the body’s own Klotho production, potentially enabling sustained therapeutic expression that could revolutionize anti-aging therapies.
Mice lacking either FGF23 or the klotho enzyme age prematurely due to hyperphosphatemia. [17] Over-expression of FGF23 has been associated with cardiovascular disease in chronic kidney disease including cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, vascular calcification, stroke, and endothelial dysfunction. [18]
α-klotho is highly expressed in the brain, liver and kidney. [9] β-klotho is predominantly expressed in the liver. [10] [9] γ-klotho is expressed in the skin. [9] Klotho can exist in a membrane-bound form or a (hormonal) soluble, circulating form. [11] Proteases can convert the membrane-bound form into the circulating form. [12]
And, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than half of the 800,000 or so Americans with end-stage kidney disease belong to a racial or ethnic minority. While 1972’s landmark ...

The term "non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease" (NDD-CKD) is a designation used to encompass the status of those persons with an established CKD who do not yet require the life-supporting treatments for kidney failure known as kidney replacement therapy (RRT, including maintenance dialysis or kidney transplantation).
