Abstract excerpt
Colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1 or M-CSF) supports the proliferation and survival of mononuclear phagocytes by binding to a receptor (CSF-1R) encoded by the c-fms proto-oncogene. Whereas the CSF-1R kinase is normally regulated by ligand, receptors bearing 'activating mutations' act constitutively as enzymes and can transform fibroblasts and haemopoietic cells of different lineages. Introduction of human CSF-1R...
