ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone, naturally produced by the peritubular cells of the kidney, that stimulates red blood cell production. Renal cortex peritubular cells produce most EPO in the human body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Erythropoietin is a hormone that your kidneys naturally make to stimulate the production of red blood cells. High or low levels of erythropoietin can cause health problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Erythropoietin (Epo), which is produced by the kidney in the adult and by the liver in the fetus, increases red blood cells by supporting the survival of erythroid progenitor cells and stimulating their differentiation and proliferation via binding to Epo receptor (EpoR).

Detailed explanation-4: -Erythropoiesis is the process of formation of RBC. Peptide hormone erythropoietin secreted from the juxtaglomerular cells of kidney stimulates erythropoiesis.
