DescriptionAnti-Klotho Antibody
Background InformationAnimal models of human aging, which display the characteristic diseases associated with aging, provide insight into the cause of such diseases. Recently a transgenic mouse model, called Klotho, with several premature aging phenotypes has been described. They display premature aging phenotypes such as Osteoporosis, age related skin changes, ectopic calcifications, atrophy of genital organs and thymus, emphysema and short life span (Kuro-o et al., 1997). KL protein associated with the Klotho mutation is a 1014 amino acid long peptide. It has a putative signal sequence at its N-terminus and a single transmembrane domain near its C-terminus, which is postulated to anchor it to the membrane (Martin & Mian, 1997). The extracellular domain has two internal repeats, KL-1 and KL-2 which have 20-40% sequence identity to bacterial b-glucosidase of plants and animals and mammalian lactase glycosylceramidase suggesting a role for Klotho in sphingolipid metabolism (Martin & Mian, 1997). kl gene expression was observed to be tissue specific. Improvement of systemic aging phenotypes in kl/kl mice occurs even when the exogenous expression was limited to some organs, suggesting that KL associated aging is regulated through a humoral signaling pathway. KL has been reported to be localized on the cell surface when expressed on Cho cells (Kuro-o et al., 1997). Human kl cDNA is expected to encode a protein of 1012 amino acids and has 86% homology to mouse kl.

Antibody TypePolyclonal Antibody
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a type-I membrane protein that is related to beta-glucosidases. Reduced production of this protein has been observed in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), and this may be one of the factors underlying the degenerative processes (e.g., arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, and skin atrophy) seen in CRF. Also, mutations within this protein have been associated with ageing and bone loss.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q9UEF7 # The Klotho peptide generated by cleavage of the membrane-bound isoform may be an anti-aging circulating hormone which would extend life span by inhibiting insulin/IGF1 signaling (By similarity).
SIZE: 1012 amino acids; 116181 Da
SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 1: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note=Isoform 1 shedding leads to a soluble peptide. & Isoform 2: Secreted.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Present in cortical renal tubules (at protein level). Soluble peptide is present in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Expressed in kidney, placenta, small intestine and prostate. Down-regulated in renal cell carcinomas, hepatocellular carcinomas, and in chronic renal failure kidney.
DOMAIN:SwissProt: Q9UEF7 Contains 2 glycosyl hydrolase 1 regions. However, the first region lacks the essential Glu active site residue at position 239, and the second one lacks the essential Glu active site residue at position 872.
PTM: N-glycosylated (By similarity).DISEASE:SwissProt: Q9UEF7 # Defects in KL may be a cause of chronic renal failure complications.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 1 family. Klotho subfamily.
