The interplay of Klotho with signaling pathway and microRNAs in cancers

Abstract excerpt

Klotho (KL) gene has been accepted as an "aging suppressor" gene that encodes a single transmembrane protein in human known as Klotho which is commonly expressed in renal tubes. The interruption in the secretion of Klotho protein expedites aging whereas its high expression extends lifespan. The family of Klotho proteins has been reported to act as distinct receptors for endocrine fibroblast growth factors (FGFs),...
