Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein, growth factor or cytokine produced by a number of different tissues to stimulate the bone marrow to produce granulocytes. It also stimulates the survival, proliferation, differentiation, and function of neutrophil granulocyte progenitor cells and mature neutrophils.
G-CSF is also known as Colony-Stimulating Factor 3 (CSF 3).
G-CSF should not be confused with granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which is a different haemopoietic growth factor.
