Background
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF or GCSF), also known as colony-stimulating factor 3 (CSF 3), is a glycoprotein belonging to the IL-6 superfamily. G-CSF is produced by activated monocytes and macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, astrocytes, neurons, and bone marrow stroma cells.Human and mouse G-CSF share 76% aa sequence identity and have species cross-reactivity.
G-CSF is produced by endothelium, macrophages, and a number of other immune cells. Alternative splicing of G-CSF transcripts generates two isoforms of G-CSF. The G-CSF receptor is present on precursor cells in the bone marrow. Interaction of G-CSF and the G-CSF receptor initiates proliferation and differentiation of the precursors into mature granulocytes. In the central nervous system, G-CSF functions as a neurotropic factor to induce neurogenesis, to increase the neuroplasticity and to counteract apoptosis. A recombinant form of G-CSF has been used in certain cancer patients to accelerate recovery from neutropenia after chemotherapy.
