- Description: Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein growth factor that is produced primarily in the kidney in response to hypoxia or anemia. It is the principal physiological regulator of erythropoiesis. EPO promotes erythropoiesis by binding to a homodimeric cell surface receptor that activates JAK2/STAT5, PI3K/AKT, and MAPK pathways, and stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells.
