JAK2, not TYK2, is required for TPO/Mpl signaling in cell models; leaves open its necessity in primary megakaryocytes or in vivo.
Does thrombopoietin require JAK2 or TYK2 for signal transduction in Mpl-expressing cells?
JAK2, but not TYK2, is an essential component of thrombopoietin-induced signal transduction via the Mpl receptor.
Drachman et al. (1999) studied this question.
