Colony Stimulating Factor 2 (Granulocyte-Macrophage) (CSF2) (Active) protein
Description
GM-CSF is a hematopoietic growth factor that stimulates the development of neutrophils and macrophages and promotes the proliferation and development of early erythroid megakaryocytic and eosinophilic progenitor cells. It is produced in endothelial cells, monocytes, fibroblasts and T-lymphocytes. GM-CSF inhibits neutrophil migration and enhances the functional activity of the mature end-cells. The human and Mouse molecules are species-specific and exhibit no cross-species reactivity. Alternative Names: CSF-2 protein, MGI-1GM protein, Granulocyte/Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor protein, pluripoietin-alpha protein, GM-CSF protein
