Abstract

Differential specificity of endocrine FGF19 and FGF21 to FGFR1 and FGFR4 in complex with KLB.

PloS one, 2012; PubMed, Homo sapiens FGF21 — Mus Musculus Klb
ABSTRACT: Recent studies suggest that betaKlotho (KLB) and endocrine FGF19 and FGF21 redirect FGFR signaling to regulation of metabolic homeostasis and suppression of obesity and diabetes. However, the identity of the predominant metabolic tissue in which a major FGFR-KLB resides that critically mediates the differential actions and metabolism effects of FGF19 and FGF21 remain unclear.
