Upon binding of erythropoietin (Epo), EpoR changes from a monomer to a dimer. This change induces the activation of Jak2 kinase via its autophophorylation. Specific tyrosines in the intracellular part of EpoR are phosphorylated and activate various cascades of signal transduction which lead to the formation and maturation of red blood cells[1]. Relevance EpoR rescues red blood cells progenitors from apoptosis. Beneficial mutations of EpoR result in increase of red blood cell number and hence better athletic performance. Disease Mutations in EpoR are the cause of erythroleukemia and erythrocytosis. Structural highlights (PDB code 1cn4).[2]
