Fibroblast Growth Factor 23-Mediated Bone Disease

Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 2017 Mar;46(1):19-39. doi: 10.1016/j.ecl.2016.09.013. Epub 2016 Dec 14.

Abstract

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is an important regulator of phosphate and vitamin D metabolism and its excessive or insufficient production leads to a wide variety of skeletal disorders. This article reviews the FGF23-α-Klotho signaling pathway, highlighting the latest developments in FGF23 regulation and action, and describes the disorders associated with FGF23 excess or deficiency.

Keywords: FGF23; Hyperphosphatemia; Hypophosphatemia; Osteomalacia; Rickets; α-Klotho.
