Recombinant rat Erythropoietin/EPO protein
EPO, also known as erythropoietin, is a member of t the type I cytokine family and is related to thrombopoietin. It is primarily produced in the kidney by a population of fibroblast-like cortical interstitial cells adjacent to the proximal tubules. This protein can be found in the plasma and regulates red cell production by promoting erythroid differentiation and initiating hemoglobin synthesis. It also has neuroprotective activity against a variety of potential brain injuries and anti-apoptotic functions in several tissue types. Recombinant rat Erythropoietin/EPO Protein, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in HEK293 cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
