Chromosomal localization of the rat erythropoietin receptor gene by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
Erythropoietin stimulates proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells by binding to a specific membrane receptor, erythropoietin receptor. By using the genomic clone derived from a rat cosmid library, the rat erythropoietin receptor gene was assigned to chromosome 8q24 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
