OSMR Antibody

Oncostatin M is a member of the IL6 family of cytokines. Functional receptors for IL6 family cytokines are multisubunit complexes involving members of the hematopoietin receptor superfamily. Many IL6 cytokines utilize gp130 as a common receptor subunit. OSM binds to the gp130 receptor subunit and, in association with the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor, induces a proliferative response in permissive cells. OSMR is an alternative subunit (for an OSM receptor complex (a heterodimer of gp130 and OSMR) that is activated by OSM but not by LIF. Oncostatin M is a member of the IL6 family of cytokines.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store OSMR antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

OSMR antibody can be used for detection of OSMR by ELISA at 1:312500. OSMR antibody can be used for detection of OSMR by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
