Klotho Protein

Named after the Greek goddess who spun the thread oflife, Klotho proteins are located on the surface of cells ofspecific tissues.The proteins bind to a family of hormones that regulatecritical metabolic processes in the liver, kidneys, and brain.

In a recent study published in the Journal Nature, it was found that the three-dimensional structure of longevity proteins could potentially develop therapies to help treat diabetes.

Scientists have revealed the three-dimensional (3D) structure of an anti-ageing protein, that may not only increase human lifespan but also help develop therapies for age-related diseases such as diabetes, obesity and cancers. Read all about it here.

According to a new study, treatment with klotho protein enhances brain function and could boost brain resilience. A single injection of a fragment of a life-extending protein hormone could improve cognition in those with neurodegenerative illnesses, according to new research which was published on Tuesday.

Older adults with low blood levels of a circulating protein in the blood may be at an increased risk of experiencing decline in their kidney function, a study has found. The findings showed that higher blood levels of a protein called soluble klotho -- with anti-ageing properties -- may help preserve kidney function.
