Recombinant Human GM-CSF Protein, hFc Tag

Molecular Characterization: GM-CSF (Ala18-Glu144) hFc (Glu99-Ala330) Molecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 40.6 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.The apparent molecular mass of GM-CSF-hFc is approximately 35-70 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant Human GM-CSF Protein with C-terminal human Fc tagThe protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages. The active form of the protein is found extracellularly as a homodimer. This gene has been localized to a cluster of related genes at chromosome region 5q31, which is known to be associated with interstitial deletions in the 5q- syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia. Other genes in the cluster include those encoding interleukins 4, 5, and 13. This gene plays a role in promoting tissue inflammation. Elevated levels of cytokines, including the one produced by this gene, have been detected in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients that develop acute respiratory distress syndrome. Mice deficient in this gene or its receptor develop pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
