| Tissue Specificity | Expressed at a low level in a large number of cells of hematopoietic origin. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are always found to be coexpressed. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated at Tyr-591 in response to THPO stimulation. Ubiquitination at Lys-553 and Lys-573 targets MPL for degradation by both the lysosomal and proteasomal pathways. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase CBL significantly contributes to this ubiquitination. |
| Function | Receptor for thrombopoietin that regulates hematopoietic stem cell renewal, megakaryocyte differentiation, and platelet formation. Upon activation by THPO, induces rapid tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of JAK2, providing docking sites for many signaling proteins such as STAT5, SHIP/INPP5D, GRB2, SOS1 and PI3K. In turn, These signaling cascades lead to the proliferation, survival, and differentiation of megakaryocytes, ultimately leading to increased platelet production. |
