Abstract
Klotho was originally identified as an anti-aging gene that can regulate the aging process and aging-related diseases, including the metabolism of vitamin K, calcium and phosphorus and the function of the cardiovascular system and immune system. Insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling pathway is also involved in the aging process and can extend life span when altered. Recent findings prove that there is close association between the anti-aging role of Klotho and the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway. This paper aims to elucidate the relationship between Klotho and the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway.
