Physiological platelet synthesis is thought to require the humoral activities of meg-CSF and thrombopoietin, which respectively promote proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytic cells. A meg-CSF/thrombopoietin-like protein that is present in plasma of irradiated pigs has been purified and cloned. This protein binds to and activates the c-mpl protein, a member of the cytokine receptor superfamily. The isolated Mpl ligand shares homology with erythropoietin and stimulates both megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis.
