Erythropoietin

Description:

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone primarily produced by the kidneys, playing a crucial role in erythropoiesis, the process of red blood cell production. It is composed of approximately 165 amino acids and contains several carbohydrate side chains, which are essential for its stability and biological activity. EPO functions by stimulating the bone marrow to increase the production of red blood cells in response to low oxygen levels in the blood. The substance is classified as a hematopoietic growth factor and is often used therapeutically to treat anemia, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease or those undergoing chemotherapy. EPO is administered via injection, as it is not effective when taken orally due to its protein nature. Its use in sports as a performance-enhancing drug has raised ethical concerns and led to strict regulations in competitive athletics. The CAS number 11096-26-7 uniquely identifies this substance in chemical databases, facilitating research and regulatory oversight.

Erythropoietin

CAS: 11096-26-7

Erythropoietin is a glycoprotein hormone, which is primarily produced by interstitial fibroblasts in the kidney in response to hypoxia. Its main mode of action involves binding to erythropoietin receptors on the surface of erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow, thereby initiating a signaling cascade that results in the proliferation and differentiation of these progenitors into mature red blood cells.

Erythropoietin - lyophilized powder

CAS: 11096-26-7

Erythropoietin is a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells, and is used for patients with anemia. It is a recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) that has been produced by genetic engineering. Erythropoietin binds to receptors on the surface of many types of cells, including those in the bone marrow. This binding stimulates the production of red blood cells from precursor cells in the bone marrow, and increases oxygen-carrying capacity in blood. The half-life of erythropoietin is approximately 36 hours. This drug also can be used to reduce high blood pressure and improve responsiveness to other drugs that are given intravenously. Erythropoietin can cause an increase in asialoglycoprotein levels in serum, which may be due to its effects on hepatocytes or erythrocytes.
