- Abstract:
-
Erythropoietin (Epo) is a circulating hormone which regulates red blood cell production, and hence oxygen-carrying capacity. Three striking features of Epo gene expression are that it shows high level induction in response to hypoxia, that it is tightly tissue-restricted and that it is deficient in most forms of renal damage. Each of these aspects has been investigated in this thesis.
Chapter 3 concerns the hypoxic-sensing system which induces Epo gene expression via an enhancer el...
