Erythropoietin-Alpha (EPO) Human Recombinant Protein

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Catalog #: MBS553224

EPO is predominantly synthesized and secreted by tubular and juxtatubular capillary endothelial and interstitial cells of the kidney. Approximately 10-15 % of the total amount of Epo comes from extrarenal sources and is predominantly produced by hepatocytes… More details

Host
Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells (CHO) (Host protein expression may be lot-specific and can be subject to change during production, including bulk orders)
Form/Format
Recombinant Erythropoietin alpha was lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered PBS solution pH 7.
Purity/Purification
>98%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Preparation and Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20 degree C.
Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2 degree - 8 degree C for one month, or at -20 degree C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity.

Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

3D Structure
ModBase 3D Structure for P01588
Domain
4 helix cytokine core
Host Note
Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human EPO mature chain was expressed in CHO cells.
Endotoxin
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method.
Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/ug (1EU/ug).
Reconstitution
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers
Molecular Weight Note
Native human Erythropoietin-alpha is generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide and propeptide, the molecule has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 20 kDa.

Recombinant EPO-a is a glycosylated disulfide-linked homodimeric protein consisting of 166 amino acid residue subunits, and migrates as an approximately 35 kDa protein under reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.

Other Notes

Small volumes of EPO recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

NCBI Summary for EPO

This gene is a member of the EPO/TPO family and encodes a secreted, glycosylated cytokine composed of four alpha helical bundles. The protein is found in the plasma and regulates red cell production by promoting erythroid differentiation and initiating hemoglobin synthesis. This protein also has neuroprotective activity against a variety of potential brain injuries and antiapoptotic functions in several tissue types. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

UniProt Comments for EPO

EPO: Erythropoietin is the principal hormone involved in the regulation of erythrocyte differentiation and the maintenance of a physiological level of circulating erythrocyte mass. Genetic variation in EPO is associated with susceptbility to microvascular complications of diabetes type 2 (MVCD2). These are pathological conditions that develop in numerous tissues and organs as a consequence of diabetes mellitus. They include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy leading to end-stage renal disease, and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic retinopathy remains the major cause of new-onset blindness among diabetic adults. It is characterized by vascular permeability and increased tissue ischemia and angiogenesis. Belongs to the EPO/TPO family.
