Biological function summary
Thrombopoietin functions in hematopoiesis by supporting the maturation of megakaryocytes. It operates independently but can interact with other factors to optimize platelet production. Although it does not form a part of a large protein complex it is essential for the proper function of hematopoietic progenitors across several stages of differentiation. Its activity ensures the maintenance of platelet levels in the bloodstream therefore preventing conditions like thrombocytopenia.
Pathways
Thrombopoietin plays a critical role in the megakaryocyte/platelet lineage pathway. It directly influences the JAK-STAT (Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription) signaling pathway which is vital for driving the cell cycle and promoting cell survival. Thrombopoietin shares a functional connection with EPO (erythropoietin) which is involved in red blood cell production although they act on different lineage-specific progenitors.

Additional notes
Sterile filtered Greater than 98% pure by HPLC analyses. Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per g (1EU/g).
General info
Function
Lineage-specific cytokine affecting the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes from their committed progenitor cells. It acts at a late stage of megakaryocyte development. It may be the major physiological regulator of circulating platelets.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the EPO/TPO family.
