1EVS - PubMed Abstract: 
The cytokine oncostatin M (OSM) inhibits growth of certain tumour-derived cells, induces proliferation in other cell types (e.g. haemangioblasts) and is a mediator of inflammatory responses. Its mechanism of action is via specific binding to gp130 and either the leukaemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) or oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) systems at the cell surface to form an active signalling complex.
