Description:
FGF23 belongs to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of proteins that are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. FGF23 is mainly secreted by skeletal osteocytes and osteoblasts, and plays a key role in the regulation of phosphate homeostasis by negative feedback mechanisms involving the kidney and parathyroid. It also controls the production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D). High levels of FGF23 were reported in beta-thalassaemia patients with hypoparathyroidism, either due to a stimulatory effect of parathyroid hormone and 1,25(OH)2D3 on FGF23 production, or direct induction effect of ferritin.
