General info

Function

Receptor for erythropoietin, which mediates erythropoietin-induced erythroblast proliferation and differentiation (PubMed : 10388848, PubMed : 2163695, PubMed : 2163696, PubMed : 8662939, PubMed : 9774108). Upon EPO stimulation, EPOR dimerizes triggering the JAK2/STAT5 signaling cascade (By similarity). In some cell types, can also activate STAT1 and STAT3 (PubMed : 11756159). May also activate the LYN tyrosine kinase (By similarity).. Isoform EPOR-T. Acts as a dominant-negative receptor of EPOR-mediated signaling.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. Type 1 subfamily.

Post-translational modifications

On EPO stimulation, phosphorylated on C-terminal tyrosine residues by JAK2 (PubMed:11781573). The phosphotyrosine motifs are also recruitment sites for several SH2-containing proteins and adapter proteins which mediate cell proliferation (PubMed:10374881). Phosphorylation on Tyr-454 is required for PTPN6 interaction, Tyr-426 for PTPN11 (By similarity). Tyr-426 is also required for SOCS3 binding, but Tyr-454/Tyr-456 motif is the preferred binding site (PubMed:12027890).. Ubiquitinated by the ECS(SOCS2) complex following ligand-binding and phosphorylation by JAK2, leading to its degradation by the proteasome (PubMed:11781573, PubMed:31182716). Regulation by the ECS(SOCS2) complex acts as a negative feedback loop of erythropoietin-mediated signaling pathway (PubMed:11781573). Ubiquitination at Lys-281 mediates receptor internalization, whereas ubiquitination at Lys-453 promotes trafficking of activated receptors to the lysosomes for degradation (By similarity). Ubiquitinated by NOSIP; appears to be either multi-monoubiquitinated or polyubiquitinated (PubMed:12746455). Ubiquitination mediates proliferation and survival of EPO-dependent cells (By similarity).
