Descriptor English: Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor
Descriptor Spanish: Factor Estimulante de Colonias de Granulocitos
Descriptor factor estimulante de colonias de granulocitos
Entry term(s) G-CSF
Scope note: Glicoproteína de PM 25 kDa que contiene enlaces disulfuro internos. Induce la supervivencia, proliferación y diferenciación de las células precursoras de los granulocitos neutrófilos y funcionalmente activa los neutrófilos maduros de la sangre. Entre la familia de los factores que estimulan las colonias, el G-CSF es el inductor más potente de la diferenciación terminal a granulocitos y macrófagos de las líneas celulares de la leucemia mieloide.

Scope note: A glycoprotein of MW 25 kDa containing internal disulfide bonds. It induces the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of neutrophilic granulocyte precursor cells and functionally activates mature blood neutrophils. Among the family of colony-stimulating factors, G-CSF is the most potent inducer of terminal differentiation to granulocytes and macrophages of leukemic myeloid cell lines.
