| Luspatercept |
Luspatercept, an erythroid maturation agent, is a recombinant fusion protein that binds selected transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily ligands. By binding to specific endogenous ligands (e.g. GDF-11, activin B) luspatercept inhibits Smad2/3 signalling, resulting in erythroid maturation through differentiation of late-stage erythroid precursors (normoblasts) in the bone marrow. |
