Cloning And Expression Of Synthetic Human Erythropoietin In Methylotrophic Yeast, Pichia Pastoris

Human erythropoietin is a hormone or glycoprotein produced by the kidney and bone marrow with important physiological functions, such as, erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, and wound healing. The natural source of huEpo is purified from human urine (uhuEPO). Alternatively, recombinant human erythropoi...
