ERYTHROPOIETIN ACTION
Action:
Binds to CFU-E
Stimulates RNA
synthesis
Stimulates production
of cyclic adenosine monophosphate
2. Shortens time for
division and maturation
1. Regulates the 3
division-reduction stages of normoblast
3. Increases rate of
pentose phosphate shunt
Control of erythropoiesis:
4. Speeds up the
release of mature erythrocytes from bone marrow
5. Speeds up the
release of shift reticulocytes from bone marrow
6. Increases rate of
hemoglobin synthesis
