Erythropoietin (EPO) is the major glycoprotein hormone regulator of mammalian erythropoiesis, and is produced by kidney and liver in an oxygen-dependent manner. The biological effects of EPO are mediated by the specific erythropoietin receptor (EPOR/EPO Receptor) on bone marrow erythroblasts, which transmits signals important for both proliferation and differentiation along the erythroid lineage. EPOR protein is a type â… single-transmembrane cytokine receptor, and belongs to the homodimerizing subclass which functions as ligand-induced or ligand-stabilized homodimers. EPOR signaling prevents neuronal death and ischemic injury. Recent studies have shown that EPO and EPOR protein may be involved in carcinogenesis, angiogenesis, and invasion.

Active Protein | Active protein |
Activity | 1. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized CD131 at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated recombinant human EPOR with a linear range of 0.16-4 μg/ml.2. Measured by its ability to inhibit Epodependent proliferation of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is 1-4 ng/ml in the presence of 0.1 U/mL Recombinant Human EPO. |
