Animal-Free M-CSF Protein, Mouse (His)

The M-CSF protein is a key orchestrator in regulating the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic precursor cells, particularly mononuclear phagocytes, including macrophages and monocytes. It actively promotes the release of pro-inflammatory chemokines, thereby playing a key role in innate immunity and inflammatory processes. Animal-Free M-CSF Protein, Mouse (His) is the recombinant mouse-derived animal-FreeM-CSF protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-His labeled tag. The total length of Animal-Free M-CSF Protein, Mouse (His) is 155 a.a., with molecular weight of ~19.02 kDa.

M-CSF Protein is a key orchestrator in regulating the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic precursor cells, particularly mononuclear phagocytes, including macrophages and monocytes. It actively promotes the release of pro-inflammatory chemokines, thereby playing a pivotal role in innate immunity and inflammatory processes. Additionally, M-CSF assumes a crucial role in the regulation of osteoclast proliferation and differentiation, influencing bone resorption, and contributing to normal bone development. Beyond its skeletal impact, M-CSF is indispensable for normal male and female fertility. The cytokine also facilitates the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, regulates the formation of membrane ruffles, cell adhesion, and cell migration. It further plays a role in lipoprotein clearance. M-CSF exists in multiple forms, including a homodimer with two identical 150-200 kDa proteoglycan subunits, a heterodimer with a 150-200 kDa proteoglycan subunit and a truncated 43 kDa subunit, and a homodimer with two identical 43 kDa subunits. The protein's diverse functions are mediated through its interaction with the receptor CSF1R.

Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in NFS-60 cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <2 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant mouse M-CSF is approximately >5 x 10⁵ IU/mg.
