title: [Molecular aspects of phosphate homeostasis in mammals].
abstract: Renal phosphate reabsorption, the major determinant of phosphate homeostasis, is primarily dependent on dietary phosphate content and multiple hormonal factors. Over the last few years, the identification of sodium-dependent phosphate transporters in kidney, intestine and bone, as well as new insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in several hereditary hypophosphatemias, allow to set up novel phosphate reabsorption regulatory pathways. This review describes molecular players involved in these mechanisms, summarizes phosphate transport data in kidney, intestine and bone, and describes recent findings concerning the three most common hereditary hypophosphatemias.
