Csf3 - colony stimulating factor 3 (granulocyte) Gene

Enables granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of myeloid cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in endocytic vesicle lumen and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; dorsal aorta; liver; reproductive system; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including allergic cutaneous vasculitis; artery disease (multiple); ischemia (multiple); leukemia (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human CSF3 (colony stimulating factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
