CFU-GM (Colony Forming Unit–Granulocyte–Macrophage[a]), also known as granulocyte–macrophage progenitor (GMP), is a colony forming unit. It is derived from CFU-GEMM. It is the precursor for monoblasts and myeloblasts. Production is stimulated by granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).

Granulocytes

There is some controversy over which granulocytes derive from CFU-GM.
