products description :
Purified Monoclonal Rat Antibody. Erythropoietin receptor (Epo-R) belongs to the cytokine receptor family and is a 507 amino acid type I transmembrane protein. EpoR pre-exists as dimers which changes the homodimerized state after binding of its 34 kDa ligand erythropoietin (Epo) (1,2). Erythropoietin is the primary regulator of erythropoiesis, and promotes the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells. Both, Epo and Epo-R are essential for the production of red blood cells due to Epo exerts its function through the Epo receptor (3). The Epo-R is also expressed in many organs outside the bone marrow, suggesting that Epo is a pleiotropic anti-apoptotic factor. Signaling pathways have been shown to influence numerous cellular functions in normal and tumor cells, including proliferation, apoptosis, and drug resistance (4). Development and specificity testing of the GM-1201 antibody are described in detail elsewhere (5).

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes the erythropoietin receptor which is a member of the cytokine receptor family. Upon erythropoietin binding, this receptor activates Jak2 tyrosine kinase which activates different intracellular pathways including: Ras/MAP kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and STAT transcription factors. The stimulated erythropoietin receptor appears to have a role in erythroid cell survival. Defects in the erythropoietin receptor may produce erythroleukemia and familial erythrocytosis. Dysregulation of this gene may affect the growth of certain tumors. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
uniprot summary :
EPOR: erythropoietin receptor: a member of the cytokine receptor family. Mediates erythropoietin-induced erythroblast proliferation, differentiation and survival. Upon EPO stimulation, EPOR dimerizes triggering the JAK2/STAT5 signaling cascade. In some cell types, can also activate STAT1 and STAT3. Forms homodimers on EPO stimulation. Tyrosine-phosphorylated EpoR may bind several SH2 domain-containing proteins including LYN, the adapter protein APS, SHP-1, SHP-2, JAK2, PI3 kinases, STAT5A/B, SOCS3, and CRKL. Defects in the erythropoietin receptor may produce erythroleukemia and familial erythrocytosis. Three alternatively-spliced isoforms have been described. Isoform EPOR-T, missing the cytoplasmic tail, acts as a dominant-negative receptor of EPOR-mediated signaling. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Receptor, cytokine. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19p13.3-p13.2. Cellular Component: cytosol; external side of plasma membrane; extracellular region; integral to plasma membrane.
