PCR assembly of synthetic human erythropoietin gene
Human erythropoietin (huEPO) is a glycoprotein with important physiological functions, such as erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, and wound healing. A therapeutic protein, huEPO is commonly used to treat patients suffering from renal and non-renal anemia. Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhuEPO) and end...
