Production of Thrombopoietin. The liver is the major producer of Thrombopoietin in the human body. It has special cells that handle the production of several hormones including Thrombopoietin. Both the parenchymal cells and sinusoidal cells of the liver play a major role in the production of this hormone.
The thrombopoietin gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 3 (q26.3-27). Abnormalities in this gene occur in some hereditary forms of thrombocytosis (high platelet count) and in some cases of leukemia. The first 155 amino acids of the protein share homology with erythropoietin.
