Abstract excerpt
Missense mutations in fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) are the cause of autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR). The mutations (R176Q, R179W, and R179Q) replace Arg residues within a subtilisin-like proprotein convertase (SPC) cleavage site (RXXR motif), leading to protease resistance of FGF23. The goals of this study were to examine in vivo the biological potency of the R176Q mutant FGF23 form and...
