TPO active protein
Human TPO
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Megakaryocytopoiesis is the cellular development process that leads to platelet production. The main functional protein encoded by this gene is a humoral growth factor that is necessary for megakaryocyte proliferation and maturation, as well as for thrombopoiesis. This protein is the ligand for MLP/C_MPL, the product of myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene. Mutations in this gene are the cause of thrombocythemia 1. Alternative promoter usage and differential splicing result in multiple transcript variants differing in the 5' UTR and/or coding region. Multiple AUG codons upstream of the main open reading frame (ORF) have been identified, and these upstream AUGs inhibit translation of the main ORF at different extent. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
Uniprot Description
Function: Lineage-specific cytokine affecting the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes from their committed progenitor cells. It acts at a late stage of megakaryocyte development. It may be the major physiological regulator of circulating platelets.
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Domain: Two-domain structure with an erythropoietin-like N-terminal and a Ser/Pro/Thr-rich C-terminal.
Involvement in disease: Thrombocythemia 1 (THCYT1) [MIM:187950]: A myeloproliferative disorder characterized by excessive platelet production, resulting in increased numbers of circulating platelets. It can be associated with spontaneous hemorrhages and thrombotic episodes.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.10
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the EPO/TPO family.

Product Notes
The TPO thpo (Catalog #AAA691999) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Human TPO reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. The amino acid sequence is listed below: SPAPPACDLR VLSKLLRDSH VLHSRLSQCP EVHPLPTPVL LPAVDF SLGE WKTQMEETKA QDILGAVTLL LEGVMAARGQ LGPTCLSSLL G QLSGQVRLL LGALQSLLGT QLPPQGRTTA HKDPNAIFLS FQHLLRG KVR FLMLVGGSTL CVRRAPPTTA VPSRTSLVLT LNEL. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "TPO, 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
