fibroblast growth factor 23; FGF-23; phosphatonin; tumor-derived hypophosphatemia-inducing factor; contains: fibroblast growth factor 23 N-terminal peptide; fibroblast growth factor 23 C-terminal peptide (FGF23, HYPF, UNQ3027/PRO9828)

Function: - regulator of phosphate homeostasis - elevated plasma FGF-23 enhances phosphate secretion [5] - inhibits renal tubular phosphate transport by reducing SLC34A1 levels - uregulates EGR1 expression in the presence of KL (putative) - acts directly on the parathyroid to decrease PTH secretion - reduces vitamin-D activation to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D by the renal tubules - negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation & matrix mineralization - following secretion, FGF23 is inactivated by cleavage into a N-terminal fragment & a C-terminal fragment - processing is effected by proprotein convertases - O-glycosylated by GALT3 - glycosylation is necessary for secretion - glycosylation blocks processing by proprotein convertases when the O-glycan is alpha 2,6-sialylated - competition between proprotein convertase cleavage & block of cleavage by O-glycosylation determines the level of secreted active FGF23 - interacts with FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 & FGFR4 - affinity between fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) & their receptors is increased by KL & heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans that function as coreceptors (putative) Structure: - belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family Compartment: - secreted - secretion is dependent on O-glycosylation Expression: - expressed in osteogenic cells particularly during phases of active bone remodeling - in adult trabecular bone, expressed in osteocytes & flattened bone-lining cells (inactive osteoblasts) Pathology: - defects in FGF23 are the cause of autosomal dominant hypophosphataemic rickets - defects in FGF23 are a cause of hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis - higher plasma FGF-23 associated with increased risk for coronary artery disease [4] - overexpression of FGF-23 by benign mesenchymal tumors of vascular or skeletal origin results in impaired resorption of phosphate in renal tubules & decreased synthesis of calcitriol leading to hypophosphatemia & oncogenic osteomalacia [5] - role in renal osteodystrophy
