The role and regulation of erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor in skeletal muscle: how much do we really know?

Erythropoietin (EPO) primarily activates erythroid cell proliferation and growth and is active in several types of non-hematopoietic cells via its interaction with the EPO-receptor (EPO-R).
