Oncostatin M, Rat, 1mg

Oncostatin M, rat: Oncostatin-M (OSM) is a multifunctional cytokine that belongs to the Interleukin-6 subfamily. Among the family members, OSM is most closely related to leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and it in fact utilizes the LIF receptor in addition to its specific receptor in the human. A biologically active OSM receptor has been previously described that consists of a heterodimer of leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) and gp130. OSM is synthesized by stimulated T-cells and monocytes. Furthermore, the effects of OSM on endothelial cells suggest a pro-inflammatory role for OSM and endothelial cells possess a large number of OSM receptors. Recombinant murine OSM contains 215 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 22.4 kDa. It has approximately 48 % and 72 % amino acid sequence identity with human and murine OSM., UnitProt ID: Q65Z15
