Description
Product Characteristics:
Granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factors are cytokines that act in hematopoiesis by controlling the production, differentiation, and function of 2 related white cell populations of the blood, the granulocytes and the monocytes-macrophages. This CSF induces granulocytes.
Subcellular location: Secreted
Synonyms: GCSF, CSF3OS, C17orf33, Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, G-CSF, Pluripoietin, CSF3
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes. The active protein is found extracellularly. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
