Description

Recombinant TPO is disulfide-linked monomer protein consisting of 332 amino acid residues, and migrates due to glycosylation as an approximately 35 kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human TPO erythropoeitin domain was expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells.

Background
Thrombopoietin (TPO), known also as TSF (thrombopoiesis stimulating factor), for mediator substances that function as natural stimulators of megakaryocytopoiesis and thus, promote the differentiation of platelets. TPO stimulates an increase in the sizes and numbers of megakaryocytes. It also increases the number of small acetyl-cholinesterase positive cells that are early precursor cells of the megakaryocytic lineage. TPO is a protein of 332 amino acids that shows significant homology with Epo (erythropoietin) in its N-terminal domain. A comparison of human and porcine TPO sequences shows 83 % identity between the erythropoietin-like domains but only 67 % between the C- terminal domains.
