Unraveling Endocrine FGF Signaling Complex to Combat Metabolic Diseases

Yongde Luo et al. Trends Biochem Sci. 2018 Aug.

Abstract

Metabolic homeostasis is critical to cellular and organismal health. The newly revealed crystal structures of the endocrine factors FGF21 and FGF23, in association with the glycosidase coreceptor Klotho and transmembrane tyrosine kinase FGFR, set a platform for structure-based novel drug design against common metabolic disorders.

Keywords: FGF21; FGF23; FGFR; Klotho; heparan sulfate; metabolic diseases.
