How EPO Works

EPO is a glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by peritubular interstitial cells in the kidney in response to hypoxia. It binds to the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) on erythroid progenitor cells in bone marrow, activating JAK2/STAT5, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK signaling cascades. This prevents apoptosis of erythroid precursors and stimulates their proliferation and differentiation into mature red blood cells (erythropoiesis). EPO also has tissue-protective effects mediated through the EPOR/betacR heterodimer in non-hematopoietic tissues (brain, heart, kidney).

Research Applications

1
Anemia treatment (chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy-induced)
2
Erythropoiesis and red blood cell production
3
Tissue protection and neuroprotection
4
Endurance and oxygen-carrying capacity
5
Hypoxia sensing and HIF pathway biology

Frequently Asked Questions

EPO (CAS: 11096-26-7 (erythropoietin); 113427-24-0 (epoetin alfa)) is a research compound, with a molecular weight of ~30,400 Da (glycosylated form); 18,400 Da (protein backbone only) in the Specialty / Research category. EPO is a glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by peritubular interstitial cells in the kidney in response to hypoxia. It binds to the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) on erythroid progenitor cells in bone marrow, activating JAK2/STAT5, PI3K/Akt, and MAPK signaling cascades. Researchers commonly investigate EPO for Anemia treatment (chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy-induced), Erythropoiesis and red blood cell production, Tissue protection and neuroprotection. Every vial from MiPeptidos includes batch-specific analytical documentation.
To reconstitute your EPO 3000iu vial, let it reach room temperature for about 15-20 minutes out of the freezer. Slowly inject 1mL of bacteriostatic water along the inside wall of the vial — never aim directly at the peptide cake. Gently swirl until the powder fully dissolves; never shake, as this can denature the peptide. Store reconstituted EPO at 2-8°C and use within 30 days. MiPeptidos includes bacteriostatic water for purchase alongside all peptides.
EPO (erythropoietin, ~30,400 Da) activates the classical EPOR homodimer for erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) AND the EPOR/betacR heterodimer for tissue protection. ARA-290 (1257 Da) is an 11-amino acid peptide derived from EPO that selectively activates only the tissue-protective EPOR/betacR heterodimer without any erythropoietic effect. Researchers use full EPO for hematology studies and ARA-290 for neuroprotection without the risk of polycythemia. MiPeptidos carries both.
Store lyophilized EPO at -20°C for maximum long-term stability — properly stored, it remains potent for 24+ months. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2-8°C and use within 30 days. In research applications, EPO has a reported half-life of ~4-13 hours IV; ~19-24 hours subcutaneous, which informs dosing frequency and protocol design. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and protect from direct light. MiPeptidos ships every order with cold-chain packaging to maintain integrity during transit.
Every EPO order from MiPeptidos includes a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. Our current batch (HR-EPO-2600115, tested March 13, 2026) shows 99.5% purity by HPLC, mass spectrometry confirmation at ~30,400 Da (glycosylated form); 18,400 Da (protein backbone only), endotoxin levels below 0.1 EU/mg, and passing sterility per USP <71>. This level of documentation ensures you can verify compound identity and purity before beginning your research. MiPeptidos also offers bulk pricing on orders of 50+ vials — contact info@mipeptidos.com.
