Human c-MPL/Thrombopoietin R Protein

Recombinant Human c-MPL/Thrombopoietin R Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus.It contains Gln26-Trp491. The c-mpl gene encodes a member of the hematopoietic cytokine receptor superfamily. This gene was discovered through the study of a murine retrovirus which induces an acute myeloproliferative syndrome in mice.MPLV (for myeloproliferative leukemia virus) has transduced a truncated and constitutively activated form of the c-mpl receptor chain. High levels of c-mpl expression were detected in 45% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). No correlation was found between c-mpl expression and the French-American-British classification subtype of AML.
