Human CSF1R/CD115 Recombinant Protein

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) is a member of the type III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases that also includes receptors for SCF and PDGF. These receptors each contain five immunoglobulin-like domains in their extracellular domain (ECD) and a split kinase domain in their intracellular region. CSF1R is expressed primarily on cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage; dendritic cells; stem cells and in the developing placenta. CSF1 and its receptor (CSF1R; product of c-fms proto-oncogene) were initially implicated as essential for normal monocyte development as well as for trophoblastic implantation. It plays an important role in the regulation of osteoclast proliferation and differentiation; the regulation of bone resorption; and is required for normal bone and tooth development. It is required for normal male and female fertility; and for normal development of milk ducts and acinar structures in the mammary gland during pregnancy. Aberrant expression of CSF1 or CSF1R may play a role in inflammatory diseases; such as rheumatoid arthritis; glomerulonephritis; atherosclerosis; and allograft rejection.
