G-CSF is the key hematopoietic cytokine involved in the control of neutrophil development; therefore, it is a critical regulator of innate immunity against bacterial infections. G-CSF mobilizes stem cells indirectly by downregulating the expression of CXCL12 on marrow osteoblasts and by releasing neutrophil and monocyte proteolytic enzymes, including neutrophil elastase, cathepsin G, and matrix metalloproteinase-9. This in turn degrades important HSC-trafficking and adhesion molecules, such as c-kit, VCAM-1, and CXCR4. In addition, G-CSF possesses immunosuppressive effects on monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and T lymphocytes. The receptor for G-CSF is expressed not only in hematopoietic cells but also in cardiomyocytes, skeletal muscle, and neurons. G-CSF influences mouse skeletal muscle development and regeneration by stimulating myoblast proliferation. In vitro, G-CSF displays strong antiapoptotic activity in neuronal cells.
Product Details
- Source
- Mouse G-CSF, amino acids Val31-Ala208 (Accession# NM_009971), was expressed in E. coli.
- Molecular Mass
- The 179 amino acid N-terminal methionylated recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 19 kD. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Met.
- Purity
- >98%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis.
- Formulation
- Lyophilized, carrier-free.
- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.1 ng per µg of protein.
- Storage & Handling
- Unopened vial can be stored at -20°C or -70°C. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. It is recommended to further dilute in a buffer, such as 5% Trehalose, and store working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
- ED50 ≤ 0.05 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ 2.0 x 107 units/mg as determined by a cell proliferation assay using mouse NFS-60 cells.

Antigen Details
- Structure
- Cytokine
- Distribution
- Monocytes, mesothelial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and neurons.
- Function
- G-CSF acts on myeloid progenitor cells to stimulate survival, proliferation, and neutrophilic maturation. On mature neutrophils, G-CSF enhances survival, superoxide anion and alkaline phosphatase production, arachidonic acid release, and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
- Interaction
- Hematopoietic progenitor cells, neutrophils, monocytes, platelets, endothelial cells, trophoblastic cells, myoblasts, cardiomyocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, neurons, and some small cell lung carcinoma cell lines.
