GM-CSF is used therapeutically in myeloid reconstitution following bone marrow transplant, bone marrow transplant engraftment failure or delay, mobilization and following transplantation of autologous peripheral blood progenitor cells, and following induction chemotherapy in older adults with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). This kit recognizes Primate and Human GM-CSF which are 95% homologous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nGM-CSF also known as Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor is a glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 23 kDa. This protein plays a mechanical role in stimulating the differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into granulocytes and macrophages. Its expression occurs in various cell types including macrophages T cells endothelial cells and fibroblasts. GM-CSF interacts with its specific receptor known as CSF2 receptor to exert its effects.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nGM-CSF influences the immune system by enhancing the functional capacity of mature neutrophils macrophages and eosinophils. GM-CSF protein acts alone and not as part of a larger protein complex. It is important in regulating immune responses and inflammation. Due to its role in promoting the survival and activation of these immune cells GM-CSF is important for mounting an effective immune defense in response to infections and other challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nGM-CSF signaling is integral to the JAK-STAT pathway. This pathway is essential for transmitting signals from surface receptors like GM-CSF receptors into the nucleus thereby inducing gene expression that leads to cell survival and proliferation. GM-CSF also intersects with the ERK1\/ERK2 MAPK pathway which is involved in regulating cellular processes such as division and differentiation. The GM-CSF receptor shares similarities with other cytokine receptors involved in these pathways making it related to various cytokines through its downstream signaling effects.\u003cbr\u003e\nGM-CSF has a well-established connection to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. In rheumatoid arthritis overproduction of GM-CSF is linked to chronic inflammation and joint damage. In multiple sclerosis GM-CSF might contribute to the pathological immune responses against the central nervous system. Antibodies targeting GM-CSF or its receptor represent a therapeutic strategy for these autoimmune diseases. By modulating GM-CSF activity therapeutic approaches aim to reduce inflammation and autoimmunity highlighting the protein's importance in disease progression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843556593833,"sku":"ab174448","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab174448","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
