Testing Data
Human erythropoietin (EPO) is an acidic glycoprotein. It is mainly produced by the kidney. As the primary regulator of the production of red cells; its major functions are to promote erythroid progenitor cells differentiation and to start the synthesis of hemoglobin. EPO acts by binding to a specific erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) on target cells; the red cell precursors in the bone marrow; and induces their transformation into mature erythrocytes. The EPO sensitivity increases with differentiation of immature progenitor cells. EPO may act as a neuron protector against glutamate toxicity. Its neuroprotective activity comes into effect by neutralizing the toxicity of free radicals. EPO is produced in brain after oxidative stress. EPO is upregulated by hypoxia and prevents apoptosis of erythroid progenitors in bone.
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 #AAA845532) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The EPO Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's EPO can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1:10; 000-20; 000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the EPO epo for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "EPO, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
