Human EPO Receptor / EPOR Protein (His Tag)

EPO-R

Catalog Number P10707-H08H
Organism Species Human
Host Human Cells
Synonyms EPO-R
Molecular Weight The secreted recombinant human EPOR consists of 237 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 26.3 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rhEPOR is approximately 34 kDa due to glycosylation.
predicted N Ala 25
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 98 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Pro 250) of human erythropoietin receptor (NP_000112.1) precursor was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Bio-activity Measured by its ability to inhibit EPO-dependent proliferation of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells.
The ED50 for this effect is typically 15-60 ng/mL in the presence of 0.1 U/mL Recombinant Human EPO.
Research Area Immunology |Signal Transduction |Transcription Factors and Regulators |HIF Transcription Factors
Formulation Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4
1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background Erythropoietin (EPO) is the major glycoprotein hormone regulator of mammalian erythropoiesis, and is produced by kidney and liver in an oxygen-dependent manner. The biological effects of EPO are mediated by the specific erythropoietin receptor (EPOR/EPO Receptor) on bone marrow erythroblasts, which transmits signals important for both proliferation and differentiation along the erythroid lineage. EPOR protein is a type â…  single-transmembrane cytokine receptor, and belongs to the homodimerizing subclass which functions as ligand-induced or ligand-stabilized homodimers. EPOR signaling prevents neuronal death and ischemic injury. Recent studies have shown that EPO and EPOR protein may be involved in carcinogenesis, angiogenesis, and invasion.
