EPO active protein
Human EPO
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene is a member of the EPO/TPO family and encodes a secreted, glycosylated cytokine composed of four alpha helical bundles. The protein is found in the plasma and regulates red cell production by promoting erythroid differentiation and initiating hemoglobin synthesis. This protein also has neuroprotective activity against a variety of potential brain injuries and antiapoptotic functions in several tissue types. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
EPO: Erythropoietin is the principal hormone involved in the regulation of erythrocyte differentiation and the maintenance of a physiological level of circulating erythrocyte mass. Genetic variation in EPO is associated with susceptbility to microvascular complications of diabetes type 2 (MVCD2). These are pathological conditions that develop in numerous tissues and organs as a consequence of diabetes mellitus. They include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy leading to end-stage renal disease, and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic retinopathy remains the major cause of new-onset blindness among diabetic adults. It is characterized by vascular permeability and increased tissue ischemia and angiogenesis. Belongs to the EPO/TPO family.

Product Notes
The EPO epo (Catalog #AAA692294) is an Active Protein produced from CHO cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Human EPO reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. The amino acid sequence is listed below: APPRLICDSR VLERYLLEAK EAENITTGCA EHCSLNENIT VPDTKV NFYA WKRMEVGQQA VEVWQGLALL SEAVLRGQAL LVNSSQPWEP L QLHVDKAVS GLRSLTTLLR ALGAQKEAIS PPDAASAAPL RTITADT FRK LFRVYSNFLR GKLKLYTGEA CRTGDR. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "EPO, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
