Functional ClassificationIb
Molecular Weight18396.1
Chemical FormulaC815H1317N233O241S5

Hydrophobicity-0.188
Melting Point (℃)53
Half LifeN.A.
DescriptionHuman erythropoietin with 2 amino acid substitutions to enhance glycosylation (5 N-linked chains), 165 residues (MW 37kD) produced in CHO cells by recombinant DNA technology.
Indication/DiseaseFor treating anemia (from renal transplants or certain HIV treatment).
PharmacodynamicsDarbepoetin alfa is used in treating anemia. It is involved in the regulation of erythrocyte differentiation and maintenance of a physiological level of circulating erythrocyte mass.
Mechanism of ActionDarbepoetin alfa stimulates erythropoiesis by the same mechanism as endogenous erythropoietin, it interacts with progenitor stem cells to increase red cell production. Binding of erythropoietin to the erythropoietin receptor leads to receptor dimerization.
