Klotho (alpha-Klotho)

Anti-aging hormone; soluble klotho boosts cognition and modulates phosphate/FGF23 axis.

Molecular Profile
protein
1012 AA Sequence
Formula
alpha-Klotho ectodomain
Chain length
1012 aa
Sequence
alpha-klotho, 979-aa mature ectodomain-bearing protein (UniProt Q9UEF7)
Onset and duration

No acute perceptible effect; intended for long-term cellular outcomes rather than immediate changes.

Storage and reconstitution

Store the lyophilized powder refrigerated (2 to 8 C), or frozen for long-term storage, protected from light. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, keep refrigerated and use within about 4 weeks.

Clinical Evidence

What the literature says

Scientific Overview

Alpha-Klotho is a single-pass transmembrane protein with a shed soluble form that acts as a circulating hormone. Klotho-overexpressing mice live ~30% longer; klotho-deficient mice age prematurely. Dena Dubal's lab (UCSF, 2014, 2020) showed that exogenous soluble klotho improves cognition in aged mice and primates. Human trials remain limited.
