Product Overview

• Compound: Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO)
• CAS number: 11096-26-7
• Class: Glycoprotein cytokine; about 40% of its mass is carbohydrate, which is required for biological activity
• Molecular weight: About 30.4 kDa (theoretical); apparent size on gels is often reported near 34 kDa because of glycosylation
• Expression system: Typically Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells (confirm your supplier’s system)
• Strength and format: Lyophilized powder; confirm strength and units against the COA
• Purity and activity: Per COA (purity by HPLC or SDS-PAGE, and bioactivity where tested)
• Documentation: Lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA)

Research Areas of Interest

• EpoR binding, receptor dimerization, and JAK2 activation
• STAT5, PI3K/AKT, and MAPK signaling in erythroid cell models
• Erythroid progenitor survival, proliferation, and differentiation in vitro
• Hypoxia and oxygen-sensing pathway studies
• Non-hematopoietic EpoR expression and tissue-protective signaling models
• Glycoprotein characterization and biosimilar comparability assays

Storage and Handling

Store the lyophilized powder according to your COA or label (commonly at −20 °C or below), protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, follow the COA guidance and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and vigorous agitation. Handle only in a laboratory setting by qualified personnel.
