- Fgf23
- Name
- Fibroblast growth factor 23
- Organism
- Mus musculus (AnAge)
- Observations
- Knockouts have a short lifespan and display symptoms of premature ageing ageing-like including kyphosis, muscle wasting, osteopenia, emphysema, uncoordinated movement, atherosclerosis, and atrophy of the intestinal villi, skin, thymus, and spleen.

- Observations
- Lack of Fgf-23 activities results in extensive premature ageing-like features and early mortality of Fgf-23 -/- mice, while restoring the systemic effects of FGF-23 significantly ameliorates these phenotypes, with the resultant effect being improved growth, restored fertility, and significantly prolonged survival of double mutants.
