Secreted αKlotho isoform protects against age-dependent memory deficits

Abstract excerpt

αKlotho is a gene regulator of aging, increasing life expectancy when overexpressed and accelerating the development of aging phenotypes when inhibited. In mice, expression levels of the secreted isoform Klotho (s-KL) are very high in the brain, suggesting that s-KL activity may have an important role in the nervous system. Here we study the functional relevance at behavioural level of modifying s-KL levels in...
