FGF23 fibroblast growth factor 23

Gene ID: 8074, updated on 30-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ADHR; FGFN; HYPF; HFTC2; HPDR2; PHPTC

Summary

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).
