Phosphate-sensing mechanisms and functions of phosphate as a first messenger by Yuichi Takashi

“…Phosphate is an essential mineral for the human body, and around 85% of phosphate is present in bone as a constituent of hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. Because hypophosphatemia induces rickets/osteomalacia, and hyperphosphatemia results in ectopic calcification, blood phosphate (inorganic form) level must be regulated in a narrow range (2.5 mg/dL to 4.5 me/dL in adults). …”
