- Zebra Finch M-CSF (Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor, CSF-1) (catalog RP1747ZN) is a yeast-derived cytokine supplied lyophilized without carrier protein in 10% trehalose; it has no affinity tags and is naturally endotoxin-free, and should be reconstituted in sterile PBS that contains at least 0.1% carrier protein. The protein is ~23.1 kDa, 203 amino acids long (full sequence provided), and >98% pure by SDS-PAGE, with 100% amino-acid homology to zebra finch. Store at -20°C (stable up to twelve months from date of receipt; working aliquots with carrier protein stable ~3 months) and avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Product origin is the USA. It is commonly used to study M-CSF signaling and hematopoiesis (including regulation of macrophage differentiation, proliferation, and survival); typical experimental uses include cell-culture stimulation and differentiation assays, cytokine signaling studies, ELISA and neutralization assays, flow-cytometry and Western blot controls, and antibody generation/validation. Kingfisher Biotech products are supplied for research applications and are not intended for medicinal, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.

- Zebra Finch Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (M-CSF) is a cytokine that regulates the development, proliferation, and survival of monocytes and macrophages in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). M-CSF is produced by several cell types, including fibroblasts, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and stromal cells, in response to tissue signals and inflammatory stimuli. Zebra finch M-CSF binds to the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF1R), a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed on monocytes and macrophage lineage cells, activating intracellular signaling pathways such as PI3K-AKT, ERK/MAPK, and JAK-STAT that promote differentiation and maintenance of macrophage populations. Through these mechanisms, M-CSF supports macrophage-mediated immune surveillance, phagocytosis, tissue homeostasis, and inflammatory responses. Because macrophages play a central role in host defense, M-CSF-mediated macrophage function contributes to maintaining immune health and resistance to infection in zebra finches. In cell culture, recombinant zebra finch M-CSF is used to promote differentiation of monocytes into macrophages and to support macrophage proliferation and functional assays in vitro. Zebra finches are widely used as a model organism in avian biology and neurobiology, making M-CSF useful for studying macrophage biology, immune regulation, and immune-neural interactions in avian research systems.
