Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes. The human TPO gene encodes for a 353 amino acid glycoprotein, which contains a 21 amino acid signal sequence, a 15 amino acid erythropoietin-like domain, and a highly glycosylated 179 amino acid C-terminal domain. PeproTech Recombinant Human TPO is a fully biologically active 174 amino acid polypeptide (18.6 kDa), which contains the erythropoietin-like domain of the full length TPO protein.
PeproGMP TPO cytokine is most often used with PeproGMP SCF and PeproGMP Flt3-ligand in ex-vivo cell therapy for the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) cultures, along with IL-3 and IL-6 for further synergistic expansion and immune cell maturation.

Thrombopoietin (TPO, THPO, MPL ligand, megakaryocyte colony-stimulating factor) is responsible for the generation of platelets through its action on hematopoietic cells committed to the megakaryocyte lineage. Binding of thrombopoietin to its receptor, MPL (CD110), initiates a signaling cascade via JAK/STAT, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways that leads to the proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes and, ultimately, to the production of platelets (thrombopoiesis). Thrombopoietin is constitutively produced by the liver and has a predicted molecular weight of 38 kDa.
