Gibco™ Human GM-CSF Recombinant Protein

Description

Recombinant Protein

Carrier-Free Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial briefly, before opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile, distilled water to 0.1-1.0 mg/mL to regain full activity. Apportion the reconstituted protein into working aliquots and store at ≤-20°C. Make any further dilutions of the reconstituted protein in medium or buffered solution containing carrier protein, such as PBS with 0.1% BSA. Storage: Store the lyophilized protein at 2-8°C, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, apportion into working aliquots and store at ≤-20°C (not in a frost-free freezer). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

The GM-CSF gene encodes for a cytokine that regulates the production, differentiation, and function of macrophages and granulocytes. The active form of the protein exists as a homodimer in the extracellular space. This gene is located in a cluster of related genes at the chromosome region 5q31, which has been associated with interstitial deletions in the 5q- syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia. Other genes in the cluster include interleukins 4, 5, and 13. The gene is involved in promoting tissue inflammation. Elevated levels of cytokines, including the one produced by this gene, have been observed in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Mice that lack this gene or its receptor have been shown to develop pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
