Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Klotho, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Klotho in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Klotho antibodies...
We validate the specificity of these antibodies to Klotho by testing them on tissues known to express KL positively and negatively. Browse below to find the KL antibody that suites your experiment. We have 76 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.
If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
May have weak glycosidase activity towards glucuronylated steroids. However, it lacks essential active site Glu residues at positions 239 and 872, suggesting it may be dormant as a glycosidase in vivo.
May be involved in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis by inhibiting the synthesis of vitamin D (By similarity). Essential element for the particular interaction between FGF23 and FGFR1 (By similarity).
