Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor is a growth factor and/or cytokine produced by the endothelium, macrophages and a number of other immune cells. GCSF stimulates the bone marrow to produce granulocytes and also to stimulate the survival, proliferation, differentiation and function of neutrophil granulocyte progenator cells and mature neutrophils.
Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor Human Recombinant produced in CHO cells is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 174 amino acids and having a molecular mass of approximately 18 kDa.
G-CSF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
