| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including macrophage colony-stimulating factor signaling pathway; microglial cell proliferation; and positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including macrophage homeostasis; mammary gland development; and positive regulation of myeloid leukocyte differentiation. Located in extracellular space. Part of CSF1-CSF1R complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and hindlimb long bone. Used to study osteopetrosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in interstitial cystitis. Orthologous to human CSF1 (colony stimulating factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a spontaneous mutation exhibit lack of incisors, a broad domed skull, short thick limb bones with reduced marrow cavities, impaired hearing and vision, and reduced fertility in females.
