  • Ligand, c-mpl
  • Ligand, mpl
  • Megakaryocyte Colony Stimulating Factor
  • Megakaryocyte Growth and Development Factor
  • MGDF Factor
  • mpl Ligand
  • Myeloproliferative Leukemia Virus Oncogene Ligand
  • Thrombocytopoiesis Stimulating Factor
  • Thrombocytopoiesis-Stimulating Factor
  • Thrombocytopoietin

Scope note

  • A humoral factor that stimulates the production of thrombocytes (BLOOD PLATELETS). Thrombopoietin stimulates the proliferation of bone marrow MEGAKARYOCYTES and their release of blood platelets. The process is called THROMBOPOIESIS.

History note

  • 91(66); was see under GLYCOPROTEINS 1976-90; was see under BLOOD PLATELETS 1975
