EPO-R, EPOR, Erythropoietin Receptor.

Erythropoietin receptor, also known as EPOR arbitrates erythropoietin-induced erythroblast proliferation as well as differentiation. During EPO binding, EPOR activates Jak2 tyrosine kinase which activates various intracellular pathways including: Ras/MAP kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and STAT transcription factors. Furthermore, stimulated EPOR has a function in erythroid cell survival. Mutations in EPOR may possibly produce erythroleukemia and familial erythrocytosis. In addition, dysregulation of EPOR can affect on the growth of selected tumors.

EPOR produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 232 amino acids (25-250a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 25.6kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 28-40kDa).
EPOR is expressed with a 6 amino acid His-tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Sf9, Baculovirus cells.

Sterile Filtered clear solution.

EPOR protein solution (0.5mg/ml) contains Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol.

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 95.0% as determined by analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Measured by its ability to inhibit EPO dependent proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect less or equal to 70ng/ml.
