  • Overview of CSF3 molecular targets


    Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein that stimulates the bone marrow to produce granulocytes and stem cells and release them into the blood. Functionally, it is a cytokine and hormone, a colony stimulating factor, produced by endothelial cells, macrophages and many other immune cells. G-CSF stimulates the survival, proliferation, differentiation and function of neutrophil precursors and mature neutrophils. In oncology and hematology, recombinant G-CSF is used to accelerate the recovery of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in cancer patients. G-CSF can also be used to increase the number of hematopoietic stem cells in the blood of blood donors before leukocyte removal for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
