Thrombopoietin Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated soluble polypeptide chain containing 175 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.8kDa which comprises the receptor binding domain of the Mpl-ligand protein.The TPO is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Thrombopoietin is a glycoprotein hormone produced mainly by the liver and the kidney that regulates the production of platelets by the bone marrow. It stimulates the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes, the bone marrow cells that fragment into large numbers of platelets.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Thrombopoietin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. The ED50, as determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of MO7e cells (with SCF), is 1.95 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 5x105 units/mg.
