Abstract excerpt
Erythropoietin (Epo) is the major regulator of erythroid viability, proliferation, and differentiation. These functions are transduced following binding of Epo to a specific cell surface receptor, the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR), a member of a new cytokine receptor superfamily of receptors. An activating mutation in the murine EpoR has been described (cEpoR) and confers growth factor-independent growth upon an...
