Erythropoietin hormone molecule F006 / 9257
Erythropoietin. Molecular model of the human erythropoietin (EPO) hormone. Erythropoietin regulates blood oxygen levels in the body, when levels are low it is released to stimulate the formation of red blood cells. It is used illegally as a performance-enhancing drug

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Erythropoietin hormone, also known as EPO. The image portrays a detailed model of this essential protein that plays a crucial role in regulating blood oxygen levels within the human body. Erythropoietin is released when blood oxygen levels are low, stimulating the production of red blood cells to ensure an adequate supply of oxygen throughout our system. However, despite its vital function, this hormone has unfortunately been misused as an illegal performance-enhancing drug. The white background highlights the complexity and elegance of this biological molecule, with its alpha helix and beta sheet structures forming a visually stunning pattern. Its tertiary structure further emphasizes its importance in maintaining proper bodily functions. This artwork serves as a reminder of the significant contributions made by biochemistry and medical research in understanding and harnessing the potential benefits of molecules like Erythropoietin. It symbolizes both progress and caution in pharmaceutical advancements while shedding light on proteomics and healthcare practices. Displayed here is not just an illustration but rather a representation of scientific exploration into how our bodies regulate themselves at a molecular level. This print captures both beauty and knowledge, inviting viewers to appreciate the wonders found within our own biology.
