RUO Grade- Active- His-tag
Description
Recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycosylated cytokine essential for erythropoiesis, specifically promoting the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells (CFU-E) into mature erythrocytes.
While renal production maintains physiological EPO levels in adults, hepatic synthesis predominates during fetal and neonatal development.
Beyond its canonical role in hematopoiesis, EPO exhibits pleiotropic bioactivities, including angiogenic stimulation via vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions, and modulation of B-cell function.
The recombinant protein retains native conformational integrity, ensuring targeted activation of the EPO receptor (EPOR) to orchestrate tissue-specific responses without off-target interactions, making it invaluable for therapeutic applications in anemia treatment and regenerative medicine.
