Fibroblast growth factor receptor–beta-Klotho complex (FGFR–β-Klotho complex)

Target
FGFR–β-Klotho complex
Molecular classification

01

Overview

The Fibroblast growth factor receptor–beta-Klotho complex (FGFR–β-Klotho complex) is a well-established therapeutic target, particularly in metabolic and endocrine disorders. It is also sometimes referred to as FGFR–KLB complex. The name accurately describes the functional signaling unit, which acts as a heterodimeric co-receptor system for Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs). This complex plays a crucial role in signal transduction and is involved in the regulation of various metabolic processes, including glucose and lipid homeostasis. The FGFR component is a tyrosine kinase receptor, while beta-Klotho (KLB) functions as a single-pass transmembrane co-receptor.
