摘要:
Disclosed are products and methods for monitoring Klotho protein levels and for stabilizing Klotho protein in a mammalian blood sample, especially at room temperature or without freezing, for a period of time. Methods of detecting and quantifying Klotho protein levels, particularly endogenous and/or exogenous soluble alpha Klotho protein levels, methods of diagnosing Klotho protein deficiency, and methods of increasing Klotho protein levels or production, particularly endogenous and/or exogenous soluble alpha Klotho protein level(s), expression, or production, in a mammalian subject, and products useful in performing the same, including diagnostic kits and compositions for treating Klotho protein deficiency, are disclosed. Compositions are configured or formulated to augment natural soluble alpha Klotho protein production, attenuate Klotho protein damage or degradation, and/or supplement Klotho protein levels with exogenous, recombinant protein. Treatment methods and uses include administration of the compositions to human or non-human mammalian subjects.
