促红细胞生成素(EPO)是人体内源性的一种生理活性极强的物质,其相对分子质量为34 000Da,由166个氨基酸组成。成人EPO主要由人体的肾脏分泌,少部分由肝脏所分泌,能够刺激红系造血祖细胞的快速增殖和分化,达到快速提高血红蛋白浓度和红细胞压积的作用。在1906年首先由法国的科学家Carnot等通过实验假设出一种能够调节 Erythropoietin (EPO) is an endogenous physiologically active substance with a relative molecular mass of 34 000 Da, consisting of 166 amino acids. Adult EPO is mainly secreted by the kidneys of the human body and secreted by the liver in small part. It stimulates the rapid proliferation and differentiation of erythroid hematopoietic progenitor cells and rapidly increases hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit. In 1906, first by the French scientist Carnot and other experimentally assumed a can regulate
