Preparation: Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Human Klotho. Anti-Human Klotho-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and then biotinylated. Sandwich ELISA: To detect hKlotho by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Polyclonal Anti-Human Klotho (500-P296) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of Recombinant hKlotho. Western Blot: To detect hKlotho by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for Recombinant hKlotho is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

KLOTHO is the systemic anti-aging hormone within the glycosidase1 superfamily. It encodes a type I membrane protein that is abundant in the kidney and brain. In mice, a deficiency in KLOTHO expression leads to various systemic phenotypes resembling human aging such as arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, and skin atrophy together with growth retardation, short life-span and infertility. Transgenic mice overexpressing KLOTHO have an extended life span by inhibiting insulin/IGF1 signaling. KLOTHO is involved in the regulation of calcium/phosphorus homeostasis by inhibiting the synthesis of active vitamin D and identified as a potential tumor suppressor.
