Phosphate-dependent FGF23 secretion is modulated by PiT2/Slc20a2

Conclusions Our data provide initial mechanistic insights underlying the Pi-dependent regulation of Fgf23 secretion in identifying PiT2 as a potential player in this process, at least in high Pi conditions. Targeting PiT2, therefore, could improve excess FGF23 in hyperphosphatemic conditions such as chronic kidney disease.
