Anti-CSF1R (CD115, CSF-1 receptor)

CSF1R(Colony-Stimulating Factor 1 Receptor) also known as MCSFR, FMS, c-FMS, CD115, ONCOGENE FMS or CD115 ANTIGEN, encodes a tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor for colony-stimulating factor-1, the macrophage-and monocyte-specific growth factor. The gene is located on long arm of chromosome 5 (5q32) on the Crick (minus) strand. The as-yet-unidentified CSF1 Rpromoter/enhancer sequences may be confined to the nucleotides separating the 2 genes or could potentially lie within the PDGFR gene itself. The encoded protein is a single pass type I membrane protein and acts as the receptor for colony stimulating factor 1, a cytokine which controls the production, differentiation, and function of macrophages. The encoded protein is atyrosine kinase transmembrane receptor and member of the CSF1/PDGF receptor family of tyrosine-protein kinases. Kondo et al. (2000) showed that the endogenous myelomonocytic cytokine receptors for GM-CSF and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF1R) are expressed at low to moderate levels on the more primitive hematopoietic stem cells, are absent on common lymphoid progenitors, and are upregulated after myeloid lineage induction by IL2. UniProt Number: P07333, Gene ID: CSF1R, Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Handling: Store at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term., Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
