Abstract excerpt
Mice deficient in the klotho gene (kl/kl mice) display the phenotypes of human ageing. We found that the expression of epidermal differentiation-associated factors (keratin 1, keratin 10, filaggrin and loricrin) was lower in the skin of kl/kl mice than that of wild-type mice. In vitro experiments showed that the expression of βKlotho, a family of klotho gene-encoded protein, was induced concomitantly with the...
