Anti-FGF23 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Fibroblast growth factor 23orFGF23is aproteinthat in humans is encoded by theFGF23gene. This gene encodes a member of the fibroblast growth factor family of proteins, which possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes. The product of this gene regulates phosphate homeostasis and transport in the kidney. The full-length, functional protein may be deactivated via cleavage into N-terminal and C-terminal chains. Mutation of this cleavage site causes autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR) . Mutations in this gene are also associated with hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC) .
