Calciprotein particles regulate fibroblast growth factor-23 expression in osteoblasts
8 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is a hormone indispensable for maintaining phosphate homeostasis. In response to phosphate intake, FGF23 is secreted from osteocytes/osteoblasts and acts on the kidney to increase urinary phosphate excretion. However, the mechanism by which these cells sense phosphate intake remains elusive. Calciprotein particles are nanoparticles of calcium-phosphate precipitates bound to...
