      Description

      Mouse erythropoietin (EPO) is a 30 kD heavily glycosylated protein containing 166 amino acids. The carbohydrate residues compose approximately 30% of the molecule by weight.3 It shares 80% and 95% homology with human and rat EPO, respectively. EPO functions as the survival and proliferation factors of late erythroid progenitor cells (CFU-E). In adult mammals, EPO is synthesized almost exclusively in the kidneys.

      Formulation and Purity

      Recombinant mouse EPO is supplied as a frozen liquid comprised of 0.22 µm sterile-filtered aqueous buffered solution, and containing 1 mg/ml biotechnology grade, low endotoxin bovine serum albumin, with no preservatives. The recombinant mouse EPO is > 95% pure, as determined by SDS-PAGE and an absorbance assay based on Beers-Lambert law. The endotoxin level is ≤ 0.1 ng per µg of mouse EPO, as measured in a chromogenic LAL assay.



      Preparation And Storage

      Store product at -80°C prior to use or for long term storage of stock solutions. Rapidly thaw and quick-spin product prior to use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaws of product.
