OSM Protein, Human (His)

OSM protein is a multifunctional growth regulator with dual functions of inhibiting tumor cell lines and stimulating the proliferation of AIDS-KS cells. It coordinates the production of cytokines, including IL-6, G-CSF, and GM-CSF, and binds to type I and type II OSM receptors, forming heterodimers with LIFR/IL6ST and OSMR/IL6ST, respectively. OSM Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived OSM protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag. The total length of OSM Protein, Human (His) is 196 a.a., with molecular weight of ~24 kDa.

GMP OSM Protein stands as a versatile growth regulator with dual inhibitory effects on the proliferation of various tumor cell lines and stimulatory effects on AIDS-KS cell proliferation. Notably, OSM orchestrates the regulation of cytokine production, including IL-6, G-CSF, and GM-CSF from endothelial cells. This multifaceted growth regulator engages both the type I OSM receptor, forming heterodimers composed of LIFR and IL6ST, and the type II OSM receptor, forming heterodimers composed of OSMR and IL6ST. Beyond its antiproliferative and proliferative roles, OSM plays a crucial part in the maturation of fetal hepatocytes, contributing significantly to liver development and regeneration.

The dose-dependent stimulation of TF 1 human erythroleukemic cells has an ED50 value of 0.2-1 ng/mL.

Lyophilized powder

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM Tris-HCl, 200 mM NaCl, pH 7.5.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
