TPOR Polyclonal Antibody, Biotin Conjugated

Thrombopoietin (TPO or THPO), also known as c-Mpl ligand (c-Mpl L), is a cytokine that plays a central role in megakaryopoiesis by influencing the development and maturation of megakaryocytes and platelet production from hematopoietic stem cells. TPO exerts its biological effects through the TPO receptor, c-Mpl. c-Mpl is a member of the cytokine receptor superfamily. Expression of c-Mpl is restricted to hematopoietic tissues and cells, such as bone marrow, spleen, fetal liver and CD34+ cells. Stimulation of c-Mpl with TPO results in the activation of the Janus tyrosine kinase family members, Tyk 2 and JAK2, which in turn phosphorylate Stat5 and Stat3, causing their nuclear translocation and the transcription of Stat responsive genes. Muta-tions in c-Mpl have been implicated as the cause of certain human disorders, including congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) and thrombocytopenia with absent radii (TAR) syndrome.
