Scope note

  • An acidic glycoprotein of MW 23 kDa with internal disulfide bonds. The protein is produced in response to a number of inflammatory mediators by mesenchymal cells present in the hemopoietic environment and at peripheral sites of inflammation. GM-CSF is able to stimulate the production of neutrophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies from bone marrow cells and can stimulate the formation of eosinophil colonies from fetal liver progenitor cells. GM-CSF can also stimulate some functional activities in mature granulocytes and macrophages.

History note

  • 91; HISTAMINE-PRODUCING CELL-STIMULATING FACTOR was HISTAMINE-PRODUCING CELL STIMULATING FACTOR see INTERLEUKIN-3 1987-91
