Soluble klotho (sKlotho), the shed ectodomain of α-klotho, protects the heart by down-regulating transient receptor potential canonical isoform 6 (TRPC6)-mediated calcium signaling. Binding to α2-3-sialyllactose moiety of gangliosides in lipid rafts and inhibition of raft-dependent signaling underlies the mechanism. A recent 3-Å X-ray structure of sKlotho in complex with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) indicates that its β6α6 loop might block acce ...[more]
