Function
Lineage-specific cytokine affecting the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes from their committed progenitor cells. It acts at a late stage of megakaryocyte development. It may be the major physiological regulator of circulating platelets. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in THPO are a cause of essential thrombocythemia (ET) [MIM:187950]. ET is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait which is characterized by elevated platelet levels due to sustained proliferation of megakaryocytes, and frequently lead to thrombotic and haemorrhagic complications. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the EPO/TPO family. -
Domain
Two-domain structure with an erythropoietin-like N-terminal and a Ser/Pro/Thr-rich C-terminal. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. - Information by UniProt
