Background
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone that regulates the production of red blood cells and biosynthesis of hemoglobin. The predominant expression of this gene shifts from the liver during fetal development to kidney in adults, and and the secreted protein will travel through the blood stream to reach to the bone marrow to stimulate hematopoietic stem cell differentiation to RBC. EPO binds to the cognate EPO receptor (EPOR) on erythroid progenitor cells, thus preventing apoptosis and stimulating their differentiation and maturation into erythrocyte. However, EPO protein and its receptors have also been shown to be cytoprotective in extra-hematopoietic tissues including the retina tissue. A complete lack of erythropoietin causes embryonic lethal anemia in mice. The conditional inactivation of erythropoietin in adult mice results in a chronic, normocytic and normochromic anemia.
