Mouse Oncostatin M induces the proliferation of murine NIH 3T3 cells.
Bioinformatic homology analysis reveals that Oncostatin M, also known as OSM, has a similar composition and structure as LIF, G-CSF, and IL-6. This suggests that these genes were derived by duplication of a common ancestral gene. In fact, many of its biological functions are shared with LIF. The receptor systems for OSM differ in composition between man and mouse. Human OSM binds two types of OSM receptor (OSMR) complexes. The type I receptor complex is composed of gp130 (IL-6 signal transducer) and LIF receptor β (LIFRβ) subunits. The type II receptor is constituted by the gp130 receptor and the OSMR β-chain. The murine ortholog, which has high affinity binding sites, binds only to the type II OSMR/gp130 receptor complex. Human OSM efficiently activates signal transduction in murine cells; nevertheless, it utilizes only the type I LIFR/gp130 heterodimer on these cells. However, mouse OSM is unable to stimulate human cells. OSM shares the OSMRβ-chain with the IL-31 receptor complex. The OSMRβ subunit is expressed by fibroblasts, endothelial, hepatic, lung, and hematopoietic cells. Pro inflammatory properties of OSM have been reported in the skin, adipose tissue, lung, heart, and liver. OSM triggers acute phase protein synthesis on hepatocytes. OSM is a potent inhibitor of keratinocyte proliferation and decreases the expression of both early and late keratinocyte differentiation markers. OSM transcripts are elevated in skin from psoriasis and atopic dermatitis patients, as compared with healthy skin. OSM and its receptor complexes play a key role in cutaneous inflammatory responses. In addition, OSM expression is increased in colonic biopsies of patients with active inflammatory bowel disease.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
