Erythropoietin hormone complex C016 / 4461
Erythropoietin hormone complex. Computer model showing the secondary structure of a molecule of the human hormone Erythropoietin (EPO), complexed with an erythropoetin receptor molecule. Erythropoietin regulates blood oxygen levels in the body. When levels are low (hypoxia) it is released by the kidneys and travels to the bone marrow, where it stimulates red blood cell precursor cells to mature into red blood cells (erythrocytes). This allows the blood to carry more oxygen. Because of this role it is sometimes used illegally as a performance-enhancing drug by athletes

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the intricate complexity of the Erythropoietin hormone complex, a vital component in regulating blood oxygen levels within the human body. The computer-generated model vividly illustrates the secondary structure of this significant molecule, which is responsible for stimulating red blood cell production and maturation. Erythropoietin (EPO), secreted by the kidneys during periods of low oxygen levels or hypoxia, embarks on a crucial journey to the bone marrow. Once there, it interacts with erythropoetin receptor molecules to initiate the transformation of red blood cell precursor cells into fully functional erythrocytes. This remarkable process enables our bloodstream to efficiently transport more life-sustaining oxygen throughout our bodies. However, beyond its essential role in maintaining optimal health, EPO has unfortunately been misused as an illicit performance-enhancing drug by some athletes seeking an unfair advantage. Its ability to boost red blood cell production artificially can enhance endurance and athletic performance but comes at great risks and ethical concerns. This visually striking image not only highlights the scientific significance of Erythropoietin but also serves as a reminder of its potential misuse in doping practices within competitive sports. It encapsulates both beauty and controversy while shedding light on important aspects such as glycoprotein structures, molecular models, endocrinology research, anaemia treatment possibilities, and erythrocyte development pathways.
