Overview
What it is.
Ara-290 is a peptide derived from erythropoietin (EPO) but engineered to avoid activating the receptor pathway responsible for red-blood-cell production, isolating the tissue-protective and anti-inflammatory signaling researchers associate with the broader EPO receptor family.
Research Areas
- Studied for tissue-protective signaling separate from erythropoietin's hematopoietic effects
- Studied for its potential role in nerve-tissue and inflammatory-pathway research
- Studied as a non-hematopoietic comparator within EPO-receptor-family research

Ara-290 (cibinetide) is a peptide derived from erythropoietin (EPO) but engineered to avoid activating the EPO receptor subtype responsible for red-blood-cell production, isolating the tissue-protective signaling researchers associate with the broader EPO receptor family.
It's studied for engaging an alternative EPO-receptor complex (thought to involve a beta-common receptor subunit) that mediates anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective signaling without triggering the erythropoiesis pathway that full EPO activates.

The Evidence
Small clinical studies
Ara-290 has been examined in small clinical studies for neuropathic and inflammatory-pathway outcomes; sample sizes are modest relative to larger incretin- or GH-axis clinical programs.
Mechanistic EPO-receptor research
Its selective, non-hematopoietic receptor engagement is well characterized mechanistically, though the exact receptor complex involved remains an active research question in the broader EPO literature.

Ara-290 FAQ
Questions
Ara-290 FAQ
What is Ara-290 studied for?+
Ara-290 is studied for tissue-protective signaling separate from erythropoietin's hematopoietic effects, examined for a potential role in nerve-tissue and inflammatory-pathway research.
How is Ara-290 different from full EPO, also sold in this catalog?+
Ara-290 is engineered to avoid activating the receptor pathway responsible for red-blood-cell production, isolating the tissue-protective signaling researchers associate with the broader EPO receptor family, while EPO itself activates that full hematopoietic pathway.
How should Ara-290 be handled and stored?+
It ships as a lyophilized powder. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water and refrigerate at 2–8°C after mixing — good for roughly 4–6 weeks refrigerated, or up to 24 months unreconstituted in a cool, dry place.
What testing does this batch undergo?+
Every batch is HPLC tested for purity and identity, plus sterility and endotoxin screening, before release. The Certificate of Analysis for that lot ships with your order.
