The zebrafish erythropoietin: Functional identification and biochemical characterization
10 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
In the present study, the zebrafish epo cDNA was cloned. The encoded protein displays 90%, 55% and 32% identity to the Epo from carp, fugu and human, respectively. Through RT-PCR, the expression of zepo mRNA was mainly in the heart and liver. In the COS-1 cell transfection experiments, the recombinant zEpo-HA protein was efficiently secreted into the culture medium as a glycoprotein and the carbohydrate moiety...
