The present invention provides novel type IIc Na / Pi cotransporters. These cotransporters are important Pi transporters that are highly expressed during the growth period from the weaning stage to the adult stage. Furthermore, the present invention provides FGF23 and mutants thereof as factors that regulate the expression of type II Na / Pi cotransporters. FGF23 suppresses Pi reabsorption through suppression of type II Na / Pi cotransporter expression in kidneys. Therefore, FGF23 can be used as a target substance for regulating Pi reabsorption in kidneys. The present invention provides important factors for the development of preventive and therapeutic agents for hyperphosphatemia or hypophosphatemia.

This invention relates to a soluble form of PHEX, PHEX being a type II integral membrane glycoprotein. This enzyme is the gene product of a phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome. To produce a soluble form of PHEX, the transmembrane anchor domain has been modified to encode a signal peptidase coding sequence. The soluble PHEX therefore comprises the active ectodomain. An inactive mutant of PHEX is also an object of this invention. Both soluble and inactive mutant forms of PHEX can be used to screen ligands to PHEX. These ligands can also be used as substrates or inhibitors of PHEX. PHEX being phosphaturic, an inhibitor thereof will be used to treat phosphaturia and / or hypophosphatemia. On the opposite, a substrate for PHEX or PHEX itself can be used to treat hyperphosphatemia.
