Synonyms:
Granulocyte/Macrophage, Colony-Stimulating Factor, CSF-2, MGI-1GM, pluripoietin-α
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 by 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 murine molecules are species-specific and exhibit no cross-species reactivity. Recombinant murine GM-CSF is a 14.5 kDa globular protein consisting of 128 amino acids residues. Manufactured using all non-animal reagents.
