Abstract excerpt
Erythropoietin (EPO) promotes viability, proliferation and differentiation of mammalian erythroid progenitor cells via its specific cell surface receptor (EPO-R). We have previously shown that truncated EPO-Rs containing 267 amino acids or less were defective in internalization of (125)I-EPO, whereas internalization via a receptor derivative containing 276 amino acids was unaffected, thus directing focus to the...
