General description

Recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO) is expressed in HEK 293 cells and supplied as a glycosylated lyophilized protein suitable for mammalian cell culture research. The mature protein contains three N‑linked glycosylation sites, which are important for its structural integrity and stability in vitro.

Application

Recombinant human EPO has been used in mammalian cell culture research applications, including studies of erythroid progenitor cell growth, differentiation, and in vitro cell‑based bioassays.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Erythropoietin is a glycoprotein that is the principal regulator of red blood cell growth and differentiation.
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein growth factor that supports proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells through interaction with the erythropoietin receptor. Erythropoietin stimulates erythropoiesis by inducing growth and differentiation of burst forming units and colony forming units into mature red blood cells.

Preparation Note

Human EPO is expressed as a glycosylated 36 kDa monomer in human HEK 293 cells. Production in human HEK 293 cells offers authentic glycosylation. Glycosylation contributes to stability in cell growth media and other applications.

Analysis Note

The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of human TF-1 cells (human erythroleukemic indicator cell line).
