Klotho is a protein that is involved in the regulation of human longevity and aging. Specifically, it is a critical component of the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway, which helps to regulate cellular metabolism, growth, and lifespan. Klotho is often referred to as the "anti-aging protein" because it promotes longevity and reverses age-related diseases in mice. In humans, klotho has been linked to various age-related diseases, including atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, and kidney disease.
