Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition associated with bone disease and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) excess that contributes to cardiovascular mortality. Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) is an established regulator of bone mineralization and FGF23 production in osteocytes. To date, DMP1 function has mainly been studied in the context of hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets diseases. This review describes the role of DMP1 as a potential strong candidate to prevent bone disorders, FGF23 elevation and associated cardiac outcomes in CKD.
