developmental stage:In the bone marrow, expression is limited to immature neutrophils. Expression was not detected in circulating mature neutrophils.,Function:Stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic precursor cells from various lineages, including erythrocytes, lymphocytes, granulocytes and macrophages. Acts synergistically with other cytokines, including IL-3, GCSF, GMCSF and FLT3 ligand. Suppresses SCF-stimulated erythrocyte proliferation.,online information:Stem cell growth factor,PTM:O-glycosylated. Probably sulfated on the O-glycans.,similarity:Contains 1 C-type lectin domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed in skeletal tissues including bone marrow, chondrocytes, primary ossification center-associated cells, the perichondrium and periosteum. Lower levels of expression were detected in spleen, thymus, appendix and fetal liver.,
