Fibroblast growth factor 23 or FGF23 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family which is responsible for phosphate and vitamin D metabolism. The main function of FGF23 seems to be regulation of phosphate concentration in plasma. FGF23 decreases the reabsorption and increases excretion of phosphate and suppress 1-alpha-hydroxylase, reducing its ability to activate vitamin D and subsequently impairing calcium absorption. Besides, Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 (FGFR1) has been identified as an interactor of FGF23, thus a functional binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant mouse FGF23 and recombinant human FGFR1. Briefly, FGF23 were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 μl were then transferred to FGFR1-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 1h at 37℃. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-FGF23 pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 5 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37℃. Finally, add 50 μL stop solution to the wells and read at 450 nm immediately. The binding activity of recombinant mouse FGF23 and recombinant human FGFR1 was shown in Figure 1, the EC50?for this effect is 0.17 ug/mL.
