Recent studies have shed new light on the understanding of phosphate metabolism.
Human FGF23 was cloned by using sequence homology with mouse FGF23 (Yamashita, T. FGF23 was cloned initially from mice using PCR methods based on sequences derived from database searches using sequence homology with FGF15. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONįibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23 or FGF-23) is a hormone that regulates phosphate level through an action on the reabsorption of phosphate from the kidneys.
