Mpl Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable thrombopoietin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including basophil homeostasis; eosinophil homeostasis; and monocyte homeostasis. Located in cell surface and neuronal cell body. Used to study myelofibrosis. Biomarker of thrombocytopenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia 1; essential thrombocythemia; myelofibrosis; thrombocytopenia; and thrombocytosis. Orthologous to human MPL (MPL proto-oncogene, thrombopoietin receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
