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]

靶标
基因名
CSF1
蛋白名
Macrophage colony-stimulating factor 1
亚基
Homodimer or heterodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with CSF1R.
N-glycosylated. The predominant soluble form is a chondroitin sulfate-containing proteoglycan.
疾病
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.
功能
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.
