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.
Thrombopoietin(tpo) controls the formation of megakaryocytes and platelets from hematopoietic stem cells via activation of the c-mplreceptorand multiple downstream signal transduction pathways.
