Human Thrombopoietin / TPO Protein, Tag Free

Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a 332 amino acid glycoprotein made primarily in the liver and act as the major physiological regulator of platelet production. TPO binds the TPO receptor, activates JAK and STAT pathways, thus stimulating megakaryocyte growth and platelet production. Additionally, further investigation uncovered that thrombopoietin is a critical cytokine promoting hematopoietic rebound after myeloablation and its transcripts are expressed by multiple cellular sources.

This protein carries no "tag". The protein has a calculated MW of 35.6 kDa. The protein migrates as 65-80 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

-20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution._x000D_For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
