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. Isoform Mpl-tr: Acts as an inhibitor of thrombopoietin signaling by promoting protein down-regulation of full-length isoform Mpl-fl. |
