MeSH definition : A mononuclear phagocyte colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) synthesized by mesenchymal
cells. The compound stimulates the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of
hematopoietic cells of the monocyte-macrophage series. M-CSF is a disulfide-bonded
glycoprotein dimer with a MW of 70 kDa. It binds to a specific high affinity receptor
(RECEPTOR, MACROPHAGE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR).;
