Colonystimulating factor 1 (CSF1)
Definition:
Colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1), also known as macrophage colony-stimulating factor, controls the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of mononuclear phagocytes and regulates cells of the females reproductive tract. The effects of CSF-1 are mediated by a high-affinity receptor tyrosine kinase (CSF-1R)3-5 encoded by the c-fms protooncogene. CSF-1appears to play an autocrine and/or paracrine role in cancers of the ovary, endometrium, breast, and myeloid and lymphoid tissues.
