CSF2 (Colony Stimulating Factor 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CSF2 include Mucositis and Candida Glabrata. Among its related pathways are RET signaling and IL-15 Signaling Pathways and their Primary Biological Effects in Different Immune Cell Types. GO annotations related to this gene include cytokine activity and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor binding. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages. The active form of the protein is found extracellularly as a homodimer. This gene has been localized to a cluster of related genes at chromosome region 5q31, which is known to be associated with interstitial deletions in the 5q- syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia. Other genes in the cluster include those encoding interleukins 4, 5, and 13.
