Function
Functions as a cytokine that uses both type I OSM receptor (heterodimers composed of LIFR and IL6ST) and type II OSM receptor (heterodimers composed of OSMR and IL6ST). Functionally, regulates many processes including cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cytokine production. Mechanistically, low affinity ligand binding to IL6ST/gp130, induces heterodimerization with LIFR or OSMR, activating JAK tyrosine kinases (JAK1 or JAK2 and to a lesser extent TYK2) bound to their intracellular domains.
