What specific cells of the kidney produce erythropoietin Wha

Solution

Peritubular interstitial cells in the kidney or the kidney tubular cells produce erythropoietin. The modulation of erythropoietin gene expression in the kidney and the liver differs.Human EPO called hematopoietin or hemopoietin, is produced by interstitial fibroblasts in the kidney in close association with peritubular capillary and proximal convoluted tubule. It is also produced in perisinusoidal cells in the liver.
