High impact information on Klb

  • Therefore, betaKlotho may stand as a novel contributor to Cyp7a1-selective regulation [1].
  • We have generated a line of mutant mouse that lacks betaKlotho, a protein that structurally resembles Klotho [1].
  • In this issue of the JCI, Ito and coworkers demonstrate that mice lacking betaKlotho, a membrane protein with 2 putative glycosidase domains, have increased Cyp7a1 mRNA levels and bile acid concentrations. betaKlotho-KO mice also have small gallbladders and are resistant to cholesterol gallstone formation [2].
