| analysis of the erythropoietin of a tibetan plateau schizothoracine fish (gymnocypris dobula) reveals enhanced cytoprotection function in hypoxic environments. | erythropoietin (epo) is a glycoprotein hormone that plays a principal regulatory role in erythropoiesis and initiates cell homeostatic responses to environmental challenges. the qinghai-tibet plateau is a natural laboratory for hypoxia adaptation. gymnocypris dobula is a highly specialized plateau schizothoracine fish that is restricted to > 4500 m high-altitude freshwater rivers and ponds in the qinghai-tibet plateau. the role of epo in the adaptation of schizothoracine fish to hypoxia is unkno ... | 2016 | 26768152 |
