Background:
Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (M-CSF), also known as Colony Stimulating Factor-1 (CSF-1), can stimulate the survival, proliferation and differentiation of mononuclear phagocytes, in addition to the spreading and motility of macrophages. M-CSF is mainly produced by monocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. Interaction of M-CSF with its receptor, c-fms, has been implicated in the growth, invasion, and metastasis of several types of cancer, including breast and endometrial cancer.Recombinant Rat Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (M-CSF) produced in E.coli is a disulfide-linked homodimer containing two non-glycosylated polypeptide chains of 155 amino acids each. A fully biologically active molecule, rrM-CSF has a molecular mass of 28 kDa analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and is obtained by chromatographic techniques at GenScript.
