form :
Each mg of lyophilized powder contains 1x PBS pH-7.4. Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
storage stability :
Lyophilized Erythropoietin-a although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 degree C. Upon reconstitution EPO-alpha should be stored at 4 degree C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 degree C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
other info2 :
Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Erythropoietin in sterile 18M Omega -cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Biological Activity: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of human megakaryoblastic leukemia cells is less than 2.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 5.0 x 105 IU/mg.

products description :
Description: Erythropoietin-alpha Fc-Chimera Human Recombinant is produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by recombinant DNA technology is a dimeric, glycosilated, polypeptide chain consisting of two mature human EPO molecules linked to the Fc portion of human IgG1. The Fc component contains the CH2 domain, the CH3 domain and hinge region, but not the CH1 domain of IgG1. As a result of glycosylation, the recombinant protein migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 140 kDa in non-reducing SDS-PAGE. Introduction: This gene is a member of the EPO/TPO family and encodes a secreted, glycosylated cytokine composed of four alpha helical bundles. The protein is found in the plasma and regulates red cell production by promoting erythroid differentiation and initiating hemoglobin synthesis. This protein also has neuroprotective activity against a variety of potential brain injuries and antiapoptotic functions in several tissue types.

uniprot summary :
EPO: Erythropoietin is the principal hormone involved in the regulation of erythrocyte differentiation and the maintenance of a physiological level of circulating erythrocyte mass. Genetic variation in EPO is associated with susceptbility to microvascular complications of diabetes type 2 (MVCD2). These are pathological conditions that develop in numerous tissues and organs as a consequence of diabetes mellitus. They include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy leading to end-stage renal disease, and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic retinopathy remains the major cause of new-onset blindness among diabetic adults. It is characterized by vascular permeability and increased tissue ischemia and angiogenesis. Belongs to the EPO/TPO family. Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7q22. Cellular Component: extracellular space; cell surface; extracellular region. Molecular Function: protein binding; erythropoietin receptor binding; hormone activity; protein kinase activator activity. Biological Process: hemoglobin biosynthetic process; erythrocyte maturation; blood circulation; apoptosis; positive regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; response to lipopolysaccharide; response to testosterone stimulus; signal transduction; response to salt stress; response to vitamin A; peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; response to hyperoxia; positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat5 protein; response to estrogen stimulus; positive regulation of protein kinase activity; positive regulation of cell proliferation; positive regulation of Ras protein signal transduction; response to axon injury; response to electrical stimulus; positive regulation of neuron differentiation; positive regulation of DNA replication; embryo implantation; aging.
