Abstract

The light mitochondrial fraction of hypoxic rodent kidneys, called the renal erythropoietic factor, contains erythropoietin in a pro, or active form. Erythropoietin is released from this inactive form when the renal erythropoietic factor is incubated with normal serum. The biogenesis of erythropoietin possibly involves a system in kidney reminiscent of the proinsulin-insulin system in pancreas.
