General description

Oncostatin M (OSM) is produced by activated T cells, monocytes and Kaposi′s sarcoma cells. OSM shares several structural and functional characteristics with leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF).

Immunogen

oncostatin M recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Oncostatin M (OSM) is a growth and differentiation factor that participates in the regulation of neurogenesis, osteogenesis and hematopoiesis. It can exert both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on cell proliferation. OSM stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and Kaposi′s sarcoma cells, but, inhibits the growth of some normal and tumor cell lines. It also promotes cytokine release [e.g. interleukin-6 (IL-6), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)] from endothelial cells, and enhances the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor in hepatoma cells.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage

Corresponding Antigen APREST73545.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide.
