Recombinant Thrombopoietin (TPO) Proteins

Thrombopoietin (TPO) is an essential growth factor that regulates the formation and maintenance of blood platelets. At Beta LifeScience, we offer a curated range of recombinant TPO proteins produced through high-quality expression systems to ensure excellent purity, activity, and batch-to-batch consistency. These proteins are designed to support advanced research in hematopoiesis, stem cell biology, platelet development, and therapeutic drug screening.

Our in-stock collection includes active human, mouse, and cynomolgus TPO proteins, each validated for quality through SDS-PAGE and cell-based activity assays. Whether you’re studying megakaryocyte differentiation or testing TPO receptor agonists, our recombinant proteins are trusted by researchers to deliver reliable results in critical experiments.

What Is Thrombopoietin (TPO)?

Thrombopoietin, often abbreviated as TPO, is a glycoprotein hormone produced primarily in the liver and kidneys. It plays a central role in the regulation of platelet production, also known as thrombopoiesis. TPO acts by binding to the c-Mpl receptor, a thrombopoietin-specific receptor present on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and megakaryocyte progenitor cells.

This binding activates multiple downstream signaling pathways that drive the proliferation, maturation, and differentiation of megakaryocytes, which eventually give rise to circulating platelets. Under normal physiological conditions, TPO levels are tightly regulated in response to platelet count. When platelet numbers drop, free TPO levels increase, stimulating the bone marrow to ramp up production.

Aside from its platelet-specific roles, TPO also supports self-renewal of HSCs, contributing to broader hematopoietic homeostasis. Its multifunctional profile makes TPO a powerful tool in both basic biological studies and translational research.

TPO in Hematopoiesis and Disease Research

TPO's significance extends beyond routine platelet production. Dysfunction in TPO signaling or receptor binding can lead to serious hematologic disorders, including:

  • Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)
  • Aplastic Anemia
  • Myelodysplastic Syndromes
  • Chemotherapy-induced Thrombocytopenia

Recombinant TPO proteins are widely used to model these conditions in vitro and to explore treatment strategies involving TPO receptor agonists. Therapeutic agents like Eltrombopag and Romiplostim mimic TPO’s function and are clinically approved to treat thrombocytopenia. In parallel, recombinant TPO is essential in drug development pipelines for testing efficacy, toxicity, and mechanism of action of emerging compounds.
