Erythropoietin is an endogenous hormone that stimulates erythropoiesis. Forms of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) are also erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, and are mostly called epoetin; for example, epoetin alfa and beta are different isoforms of erythropoietin and the main differences in their actions arise from differences in glycation (60 E).
