GCSF is a family of higher eukaryotic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor proteins. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors are cytokines that are involved in haematopoeisis. They control the production, differentiation and function of white blood cell granulocytes. GCSF binds to the extracellular Ig-like and CRH domain of its receptor GCSFR, thereby triggering the receptor to homodimerise [1]. Homodimerisation result in activation of Janus tyrosine kinase-signal transducers and other activators of transcription (JAK-STAT)-type signalling cascades [2].
