Klotho gene was identified as an aging suppressor. In animals, klotho overexpression extends life span, and defective klotho results in rapid aging and early death. The kidney is the main contributor to circulating klotho levels, and, during chronic kidney disease, renal klotho gene expression is drastically reduced in animals and humans as well.
