Background: Alpha klotho is a transmembrane protein that regulates calcium metabolism. Its soluble portion has been linked to endocrine functions. We have recently shown high concentrations of serum soluble alpha klotho (sαKL) in active acromegaly. There is limited information about regulation of sαKL secretion. We aimed to gain insight about sαKL as a potential biomarker for H-related diseases.Methods: SαKL was measured by ELISA (IBL...
