Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein that stimulates the bone marrow to produce granulocytes and stem cells and release them into the bloodstream. It plays a crucial role in hematopoiesis, particularly in the proliferation and differentiation of neutrophil precursors. G-CSF is used clinically to treat neutropenia, a condition characterized by a low count of neutrophils, which are essential components of the immune system.
