Summary
CSF1 (colony stimulating factor 1, HGNC:2432) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p13.3, encoding Macrophage colony-stimulating factor 1 (P09603). 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.
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.

Function. 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 pro-inflammatory 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.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer or heterodimer; disulfide-linked. Likely to exist in multiple forms: homodimer consisting of 2 identical 150-200 kDa proteoglycan subunits, heterodimer consisting of a 150-200 kDa proteoglycan subunit and a truncated 43 kDa subunit, and homodimer consisting of 2 identical 43 kDa subunits. Interacts with CSF1R.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane Secreted. Extracellular space.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated. N-glycosylated. N-glycosylated. O-glycosylated; contains chondroitin sulfate. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. O-glycosylated.
Disease relevance. Aberrant expression of CSF1 or CSF1R can promote cancer cell proliferation, invasion and formation of metastases. Overexpression of CSF1 or CSF1R is observed in a significant percentage of breast, ovarian, prostate, and endometrial cancers. Aberrant expression of CSF1 or CSF1R may play a role in inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, glomerulonephritis, atherosclerosis, and allograft rejection.
