Darbepoetin alfa is an erythropoiesis-stimulating protein that is produced in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells by recombinant DNA technology. It is a 165-amino acid protein that differs from recombinant human erythropoietin in containing 5 N-linked oligosaccharide chains, whereas recombinant human erythropoietin contains 3 chains. The 2 additional N-glycosylation sites result from amino acid substitutions in the erythropoietin peptide backbone.
