Recombinant Human Albumin-Human Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor - CISMeF
Recombinant Human Albumin-Human Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating FactorNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Recombinant Human Albumin-Human Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor;
NCIt synonyms : Recombinant Human Albumin-Human GCSF;
NCIt definition : A long-acting recombinant fusion protein incorporating human serum albumin (HSA)-derived
and human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)-derived moieties with potential
granulopoietic activity. G-CSF, a naturally occurring cytokine, stimulates the production
of granulocytes and stem cells in the bone marrow and their release into the blood;
it also stimulates the differentiation, function, and survival of neutrophil precursors
and mature neutrophils. Albumin fusion may promote an increased serum half-life and
bioavailability of the G-CSF moiety of this fusion protein.;
