Reduced production of this protein has been observed in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), and this may be one of the factors underlying the degenerative processes (e.g., arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, and skin atrophy) seen in CRF. Also, mutations within this protein have been associated with ageing and bone loss. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: May have weak glycosidase activity towards glucuronylated steroids. However, it lacks essential active site Glu residues at positions 239 and 872, suggesting it may be inactive as a glycosidase in vivo. May be involved in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis by inhibiting the synthesis of active vitamin D (By similarity). Essential factor for the specific interaction between FGF23 and FGFR1 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |Glyco hydro 1| |beta-glucuronidase activity| |positive regulation of MAPKKK cascade by fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway| |beta-glucosidase activity| |vitamin D binding| |fibroblast growth factor receptor binding| |fibroblast growth factor binding| |positive regulation of bone mineralization| |positive regulation of biomineral tissue development| |positive regulation of biomineralization| |energy reserve metabolic process| |regulation of bone mineralization| |fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway| |positive regulation of ossification| |insulin receptor signaling pathway| |regulation of biomineralization| |regulation of biomineral tissue development| |hormone activity| |cellular response to fibroblast growth factor stimulus| |response to fibroblast growth factor| |cellular response to insulin stimulus| |positive regulation of protein kinase B signaling| |regulation of ossification| |regulation of protein kinase B signaling| |response to insulin| |energy derivation by oxidation of organic compounds| |cellular response to peptide hormone stimulus| |aging| |apical plasma membrane| |cellular response to peptide| |MAPK cascade| |response to peptide hormone| |signal transduction by protein phosphorylation| |generation of precursor metabolites and energy| |calcium ion homeostasis| |response to peptide| |carbohydrate metabolic process| |divalent inorganic cation homeostasis| |cellular response to growth factor stimulus| |transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway| |response to growth factor| |positive regulation of MAPK cascade| |cellular response to organonitrogen compound| |cellular response to hormone stimulus| |metal ion homeostasis| |cellular response to nitrogen compound| |cation homeostasis| |enzyme linked receptor protein signaling pathway| |inorganic ion homeostasis| |regulation of MAPK cascade| |ion homeostasis| |response to hormone| |oxidation-reduction process| |protein phosphorylation| |response to organonitrogen compound| |positive regulation of protein phosphorylation| |positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction| |cellular response to oxygen-containing compound| |positive regulation of phosphorylation| |response to nitrogen compound| |chemical homeostasis| |positive regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |positive regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |cellular response to endogenous stimulus| |positive regulation of protein modification process| |phosphorylation| |positive regulation of developmental process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |regulation of protein phosphorylation| |response to endogenous stimulus| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |regulation of phosphorylation| |positive regulation of cellular protein metabolic process| |homeostatic process| |positive regulation of signal transduction| |intracellular signal transduction| |positive regulation of protein metabolic process| |positive regulation of multicellular organismal process| |regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |positive regulation of cell communication| |positive regulation of signaling| |regulation of intracellular signal transduction| |regulation of protein modification process| |extracellular region| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
