Active Recombinant Human OSM Protein

• Cat.No.: OSM-307H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human OSM Protein without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: 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. 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 181 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 20.4 kDa. It has approximately 48 % and 72 % amino acid sequence identity with human and rat OSM.
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Tag: Non
• Form: Sterile Filtered White lyophil

• Endotoxin: Less than 1 EU/ag of rHuOSM as determined by LAL method.
• Purity: > 95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
• Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 centigrade, but should be kept at -20 centigrade for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 centigrade. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 to -70 centigrade. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
• Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.
