Gene information for CSF1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1435
Official gene symbolCSF1
Full namecolony stimulating factor 1 (macrophage)
Aliases,MCSF,MGC31930,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that controls the production, differentiation, and function of macrophages. The active form of the protein is found extracellularly as a disulfide-linked homodimer, and is thought to be produced by proteolytic cleavage of membrane-bound precursors. The encoded protein may be involved in development of the placenta. Four transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
