Gene information for EPOR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2057
Official gene symbolEPOR
Full nameerythropoietin receptor
Aliases,MGC138358,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the erythropoietin receptor which is a member of the cytokine receptor family. Upon erythropoietin binding, this receptor activates Jak2 tyrosine kinase which activates different intracellular pathways including: Ras/MAP kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and STAT transcription factors. The stimulated erythropoietin receptor appears to have a role in erythroid cell survival. Defects in the erythropoietin receptor may produce erythroleukemia and familial erythrocytosis. Dysregulation of this gene may affect the growth of certain tumors. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
