The structure of Klotho is fully uncovered

Can this be easily produced and injected?
This is big, no?

Klotho has always been big in potential, but so far nothing actionable. Maybe this does move things along, or maybe it's nothing. Would be great to hear from the usual boffins and procurers.

This can't be easily produced. It's a protein, not a small polypeptide.
In this paper, they induced a special type of cell to produce it in tissue culture and purified it with many steps, finally obtaining a tiny amount.
You could get a lab to do it for you, but my guess is that a dose would end up in the $100K range.

That is disappointing. For now, I guess we're stuck with trying to increase it through other methods. But even there, I don't see much other than the usual things like exercise.
On the other hand, the latest news on Klotho has shown that it's beneficial effects (in mice) can be induced with just one part of the Klotho protein. If a protein is hard to make because of it's size, maybe this fragment will solve that problem.

smithx, since you seem quite knowledgeable, maybe you can comment on whether this would be easier to synthesize? The study posted above is open-source so no need for sci-hub.

smithx thanks for all the great feedback, I'm not giving up yet. A recent study showed that a mysterious "compound H" increases Klotho levels and all the usual benefits and even a mechanism has been identified. Here are two recent studies that discuss "Compound H"
https://onlinelibrar...1111/acel.12762
https://pdfs.semanti...5ca88c85747.pdf
Here we discovered novel molecular mechanism for induction of Kl expression with a small molecule ‘Compound H’, N-(2-chlorophenyl)-1H-indole-3-caboxamide
Does the referenced molecule mean anything to you?
I found it listed for sale with various vendors, but there is no information at all on it aside from the usual expensive price.

I have done a lot of research on Klotho. Klotho is definitely an anti aging protein. But there is no pills to take.
Maintaining good cellular health with NR will help maintain Klotho levels.
Gaba has also been shown to increase Klotho levels.

I'll forgive your constant pimping of NR because in this case you are correct, though I'm an NMN user
Also, thanks for the tip on GABA, I was totally unaware of that study.

Just following up, did you ever start taking klotho? I just started taking it.
