M-CSF ELISA Kit (Mouse) (OKBB00212)

Description of target: SF, also called CSF1, consists of a 14-amino acid peptide, longer than the usual 8-to-11 mer recognized by most CTLs. The M-CSF gene is mapped to 1p21-p13 and contains 10 exons and 9 introns spanning 20 kb. Although it is a single-copy gene, its expression results in the synthesis of several mRNAs, ranging in size from about 1.5 to 4.5 kb. There are 2 forms of M-CSF, with 224 and 522 amino acids, resulting from alternative splicing. Furthermore, M-CSF has a role in development of the placenta. Uterine M-CSF concentration is regulated by a synergistic action of estradiol and progesterone. M-CSF is produced by uterine glandular epithelial cells. It had been found that FMS, the M-CSF receptor, is expressed in placenta and choriocarcinoma cell lines.;Species reactivity: Mouse;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: < 1 pg/mL
