Popis: The phosphaturic activity of intact, full-length, fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is well documented. FGF-23 circulates as the intact protein, and as fragments generated as the result of proteolysis of the full-length protein. To assess whether short fragments of FGF-23 are phosphaturic, we compared the effect of acute, equimolar infusions of full-length FGF-23 and various FGF-23 fragments carboxyl-terminal to amino acid 176. In rats, intravenous infusions of full-length FGF-23, and FGF-23 176-251, significantly and equivalently increased fractional phosphate excretion (FE Pi)) from 14±3 to 32±5% and 15±2 to 33±2% (p
