Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor/GM-CSF Protein(C-6His) (recombinant rat)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Rat Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala18-Lys144 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Ala18-Lys144. Fusion tag: C-6His Endotoxin: <1.0 EU per µg as determined by LAL test. Apparent Molecular Mass: 17-20 kDa. Protein function: Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) was initially characterized as a growth factorthat can support the in vitro colony formation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors. It is produced by anumber of different cell types (including activated T cells, B cells, macrophages, mast cells, endothelial cellsand fibroblasts) in response to cytokine of immune and inflammatory stimuli. Besides granulocyte-macrophageprogenitors, GM-CSF is also a growth factor for erythroid, megakaryocyte and eosinophil progenitors. Onmature hematopoietic, monocytes/ macrophages and eosinophils. GM-CSF has a functional role on nonhematopoitic cells. It can induce human endothelial cells to migrate and proliferate. Additionally, GM-CSF canalso stimulate the proliferation of a number of tumor cell lines, including osteogenic sarcoma, carcinoma andadenocarcinoma cell lines. Protein function: Cytokine that stimulates the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic precursor cells from various lineages, including granulocytes, macrophages, eosinophils and erythrocytes.
