Gene: FGF23
Official Full Name: fibroblast growth factor 23provided by HGNC
Gene 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).

FGF23 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically engineered to lack the functional fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) gene. FGF23 plays a critical role in phosphate and vitamin D metabolism by regulating renal phosphate excretion and influencing vitamin D synthesis. The knockout of this gene allows researchers to study the impact of FGF23 absence on various biological processes, making these cell lines invaluable for the investigation of hypophosphatemic disorders, such as X-linked hypophosphatemia and tumor-induced osteomalacia, where elevated levels of FGF23 lead to pathological mineral metabolism.
The key function of the FGF23 gene knockout is to provide insights into signaling pathways disrupted by the absence of FGF23. This enables researchers to discern the multifaceted roles that FGF23 plays in bone mineralization and phosphate homeostasis. By leveraging these cell lines, scientists can elucidate the downstream effects of FGF23 suppression on target genes involved in cellular metabolism, growth, and differentiation.
The scientific importance of FGF23 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond basic research; they are particularly relevant in developing therapeutic strategies for disorders tied to aberrant FGF23 levels. Clinically, these cell lines facilitate drug discovery processes by serving as a robust platform for screening potential therapeutic agents aimed at modulating FGF23 activity.
What distinguishes these cell lines from alternative models is their precision and specificity. While traditional models may exhibit variable responses, the knockout nature of these cell lines ensures uniformity, allowing for reproducible experimental outcomes. This specificity is further enhanced by our commitment to rigorous quality control and validation during the production process.
For researchers and clinicians alike, FGF23 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a powerful tool in advancing our understanding of mineral homeostasis and developing targeted therapies. With the increasing prevalence of mineral metabolism disorders, the demand for credible and efficient research materials is critical—these cell lines meet that need.
