Thrombocorticin

UniProtKB accession:  C0HM62

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Binds to fucose and mannose in a calcium-dependent manner (in vitro) (Ref.2). Acts as an agonist for human thrombopoietin receptor MPL (in vitro) (PubMed:30978513, Ref.2). Binding of sugar-moieties may promote the interaction with human MPL on the cell surface (in vitro) (Ref.2). Catalyzes MPL dimerization and activation, and modulates internalization of the receptor (in vitro) (Ref.2). Exhibits proliferation activity in murine recombinant Ba/F3 cells expressing human MPL (Ba/F3-huMPL) (in vitro) (PubMed:30978513). Induces phosphorylation of STAT5 in recombinant Ba/F3-huMPL cells, possibly by stimulating MPL on the cell surface to transduce signals via Jak/STAT signaling pathway (in vitro) (PubMed:30978513, Ref.2). Does not aggregate rabbit erythrocytes, indicating absent lectin-like agglutination activity (in vitro) (PubMed:30978513).
