Product Specs

Introduction

Thrombopoietin (TPO), also known as MGDF, is a glycoprotein hormone primarily produced in the liver and kidneys. It plays a crucial role in platelet production by stimulating the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes, specialized bone marrow cells responsible for platelet formation. TPO is essential for megakaryocytopoiesis, the process of megakaryocyte proliferation and maturation, and overall platelet production (thrombopoiesis).

Description

Recombinant Mouse TPO, expressed in HEK293 cells, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 341 amino acids (22-356 a.a). With a molecular weight of 36.4 kDa, this TPO variant has a 6 amino acid His-tag fused at its C-terminus. Purification is achieved through proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless solution, sterile-filtered.
Formulation

The TPO protein solution has a concentration of 0.5mg/ml and is prepared in Phosphate-Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) with 10% glycerol.

Stability

For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep refrigerated at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.

Purity

Purity is determined using a cell proliferation assay with MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cells. The ED50 is approximately 4 ng/ml.

Biological Activity

Biological activity is assessed by the ability to agglutinate human red blood cells, with an ED50 greater than or equal to 25 µg/ml.

Synonyms

Thpo, C-mpl ligand,ML, Megakaryocyte colony-stimulating factor, Megakaryocyte growth and development factor, MGDF, Myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene ligand, Mgdf, Ml, Mpllg, Tpo, thrombopoietin isoform 1.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a crucial cytokine involved in the regulation of platelet production. It primarily influences the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes, the bone marrow cells responsible for producing platelets. Recombinant forms of TPO, such as Mouse Recombinant Thrombopoietin expressed in Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK) cells, are widely used in research and therapeutic applications.

Structure and Expression

Recombinant Mouse Thrombopoietin (HEK) is typically produced in HEK293 cells, a human cell line derived from embryonic kidney cells. This recombinant protein is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 341 amino acids, with a molecular mass of approximately 36.4 kDa . The protein is often purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to ensure high purity and biological activity.

Biological Activity

Thrombopoietin plays a vital role in hematopoiesis, particularly in the production of platelets. It binds to its receptor, c-Mpl, on the surface of megakaryocytes and their progenitors, promoting their proliferation and differentiation . This cytokine is also essential for the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), ensuring a steady supply of blood cells throughout an organism’s life.

Applications

Recombinant Mouse Thrombopoietin (HEK) is used in various research applications, including:

  • Cell Proliferation Assays: It is used to study the proliferation of megakaryocytes and other hematopoietic cells.
  • Stem Cell Research: TPO is crucial for maintaining and expanding hematopoietic stem cells in vitro.
  • Drug Development: It is used in the development and testing of drugs targeting platelet production and related disorders.
Purity and Quality Control

The recombinant protein is characterized by high purity, typically greater than 95%, and low endotoxin levels (≤ 0.005 EU/µg) . These quality control measures ensure that the protein is suitable for sensitive biological assays and therapeutic applications.

Storage and Handling

Recombinant Mouse Thrombopoietin (HEK) is usually supplied in a lyophilized form to ensure stability during storage and transport. It can be reconstituted in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and stored at -80°C for long-term use . Proper storage and handling are essential to maintain the protein’s biological activity and prevent degradation.
