Preferred Label : EPO Signaling Pathway;
Alternative definition : BIOCARTA: Erythropoietin functions to increase the number of red blood cells. Thus,
it has found utility as a drug for those needing to replenish erythrocytes for any
number of reasons. The signaling mechanism includes multimerization of the receptor
upon ligand binding, activation of MAPK cascade, and phosphorylation and activation
of Stat5. (This definition may be outdated - see the DesignNote.);
