Biological Role of Anti-Aging Protein Klotho

Klotho is an anti-aging protein that is mostly detected in the kidney and brain. It was first identified in mice as an aging suppressor. Overexpression of this gene extends one’s lifespan, while a deficiency can lead to aging faster or even early death. This...

Klotho the Anti-Aging Gene

The Klotho (KL) gene was identified as an anti-aging gene and has produced insights into how the aging process works. Researchers have uncovered several functions of Klotho, but future research should investigate the location of Klotho receptors and downstream...
