Macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) is a hematopoietic growth factor produced by a wide variety of cells. M-CSF is known to stimulate differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells to monocyte-macrophagecell populations in culture. M-CSF acts through the CSF receptor 1. Although human M-CSF shows activity on mouse cells, mouse CSF shows no activity on human cells. Recombinant human M-CSF is a disulfide linked homodimer, containing two 159 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 36.8kDa.
