Description: TPO, a lineage-specific growth factor, originates from the liver, kidney, and skeletal muscle. It triggers the growth and development of megakaryocytes, leading to higher platelet levels in the bloodstream. TPO communicates through the c-mpl receptor, playing a crucial role in platelet regulation. Both human and murine TPO can interact across species. The Recombinant Murine TPO, comprising 174 amino acids (18.7 kDa), is biologically active, encompassing the erythropoietin-like domain of the complete TPO protein.
