ProSpec-OSM Rat

Oncostatin-M, OSM, OncoM.

Oncostatin M is a member of a cytokine family that includes leukemia-inhibitory factor, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and interleukin 6. This gene encodes a growth regulator which inhibits the proliferation of a number of tumor cell lines. It regulates cytokine production, including IL-6, G-CSF and GM-CSF from endothelial cells.

OSM Rat Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 214 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 24.3kDa.
The OSM is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Escherichia Coli.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.

OSM protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 1xPBS, pH 7.4.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Oncostatin M in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Lyophilized Oncostatin M although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Oncostatin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein .
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
Analysis by RP-HPLC.
Analysis by -PAGE.
