Crystal structure of the mouse Colony-Stimulating Factor 1 (mCSF-1) cytokineCrystal structure of the mouse Colony-Stimulating Factor 1 (mCSF-1) cytokine
DiseaseDisease
[CSF1_MOUSE] Note=A defect in Csf1 is the cause of osteopetrosis. Osteopetrotic mice (op/op) are severely deficient in mature macrophages and osteoclasts, display failed tooth eruption, and have a restricted capacity for bone remodeling.[1]
FunctionFunction
[CSF1_MOUSE] Cytokine that plays an essential role in the regulation of survival, proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic precursor cells, especially mononuclear phagocytes, such as macrophages and monocytes. Promotes the release of proinflammatory chemokines, and thereby plays an important role in innate immunity and in inflammatory processes. Plays an important role in the regulation of osteoclast proliferation and differentiation, the regulation of bone resorption, and is required for normal bone development. Required for normal male and female fertility. Promotes reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, regulates formation of membrane ruffles, cell adhesion and cell migration. Plays a role in lipoprotein clearance.
