Erythropoietin Is Produced By. The hormone erythropoietin Epo maintains red blood cell mass by promoting the survival proliferation and differentiation of erythrocytic progenitors. Erythropoietin hormones are produced by specialised cells in the human kidney which is mainly responsible for the production of RBC- Red blood cells. Circulating Epo originates mainly from fibroblasts in the renal cortex. A regulate red blood cell production by the bone marrow.
Erythropoietin Epo is the principal regulator of erythropoiesis by inhibiting apoptosis and by stimulating the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid precursor cells. The correct answer is C. In response to hypoxia renal tubular and interstitial cells synthesize EPO and release it into blood and then EPO is distributed into various tissues through blood flow. Erythropoietin is distinct among the hematopoietic growth factors because it is produced primarily in the kidneys rather than the bone marrow. Peritubular capillary lining cells of kidney. The cellular site of erythropoietin epo production within the mammalian kidney is still not completely understood.

Erythropoietin Epo is a glycoprotein that promotes the proliferation and differentiation of erythrocyte precursors. Erythropoietin EPO is carried to the bone marrow where it stimulates production of red blood cells. The cellular site of erythropoietin epo production within the mammalian kidney is still not completely understood. All of the above. The hormone is active for a short period of time and then eliminated from the body in the urine. Erythropoietin EPO is primarily produced in the kidney.
