Active Recombinant Human CSF1 Protein (Glu33-Ser190), GMP Grade, Animal-Free

• Cat.No.: CSF1-18HG
• Product Overview: GMP recombinant human M-CSF protein (Glu33-Ser190) with an N-terminal Met without tag was expressed in E. coli, produced using non-animal reagents in an Animal-Free laboratory and manufactured and tested under cGMP guidelines.

Specification

• Description: The 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. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
• Source: E. coli
