Abstract

The hematopoietic growth factors are a family of glycoproteins involved in the production of blood cells from their bone marrow precursors and in the activation of mature blood cells. Much has been learned about the structural features of these molecules responsible for their characteristic biological activities. Most studies have been based upon mutagenesis strategies of intact polypeptides and on epitope mapping of informative monoclonal antibodies to the growth factors. A more limited amount of physical data is available. This review will summarize these findings, highlight the growing body of evidence suggesting that many of these proteins share common evolutionary origins and structural elements, and hopefully point to the directions being taken for further investigations of these scientifically informative and clinically useful group of proteins.

Several glycoproteins that control blood formation have recently been characterized. Through their overlapping, synergizing, and antagonistic effects, they regulate hematopoiesis in a highly differentiated network.
