Biotinylated Porcine Thrombopoietin R Protein, His, Avitag™

Thrombopoietin R, also known as TPO-R, is expressed predominantly on the surface of MKs, platelets, hemangioblasts, and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) . Binding of TPO to the megakaryocyte TPO-R leads to different effects: prevention of megakaryocyte apoptosis; increased megakaryocyte number, size, and ploidy; increasing rate of megakaryocyte maturation; and internalization of the TPO/TPO-R complex. Thrombopoietin R involved in multiple signal transduction pathways, such as JAK, STAT, and MAP kinase.
