What is EPO?
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone and hematopoietic growth factor primarily produced by the kidneys (90%) and liver (10%) in response to hypoxia. EPO is the principal regulator of erythropoiesis—the production of red blood cells (erythrocytes) from hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow. The hormone binds to erythropoietin receptors (EPO-R) on the surface of erythroid progenitor cells, activating the JAK2-STAT5 signaling pathway, which promotes cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation while inhibiting apoptosis. Recombinant human EPO (rHuEPO) is produced via Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell expression systems and is structurally identical to endogenous EPO, including critical post-translational glycosylation. EPO research extends beyond hematopoiesis to neuroprotection, angiogenesis, tissue repair, and exercise physiology.
