About Kl

Summary

Predicted to enable Fibroblast Growth Factor binding activity and Fibroblast Growth Factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including norepinephrine biosynthetic process; response to angiotensin; and response to vitamin D. Predicted to be located in membrane. Used to study familial hyperlipidemia; hypertension; and kidney failure. Biomarker of chronic kidney disease (multiple); hypertension; retinitis pigmentosa; secondary hyperparathyroidism; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease; intracranial embolism; and spondylosis. Orthologous to human KL (klotho). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
