"Stimulation of cells with the interleukin-6 family of cytokines triggers homo- or hetero-dimerization of gp130. The dimerization of gp130 leads to activation of associated cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases and subsequent modification of transcription factors. Some of these biological activities of il-6 are also often exerted by other cytokines, i.e. Il-11, lif, osm, cntf, and ct-2."
reach
"Since the IL-6 family is thought to have the highest degree of functional pleiotropy and redundancy in triggering the health- and disease-related responses of all cytokine families [27], the unique effects of OSM-activated gp130 receptor complexes feature less in the scientific focus of heart diseases."
reach
"53 As a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines, OSM has homogenous protein sequence and structure as that of other family members.57 Studies in the mouse showed that human OSM activates the heterodimer of LIF receptor B and gp130, as does CNTF.58 59 An increase in STAT3 phosphorylation was localized to Müller cells after intravitreal delivery of OSM in an ONC model, indicating that the neuroprotective effect of OSM on the RGC is medicated by Müller cells."

"Since the IL-6 family is thought to have the highest degree of functional pleiotropy and redundancy in triggering the health- and disease-related responses of all cytokine families [ xref ], the unique effects of OSM-activated gp130 receptor complexes feature less in the scientific focus of heart diseases."
reach
"On the molecular level this usage of OSM from different species results in the stimulation of different receptor complexes : human OSM exclusively binds to the type I gp130 and LIFR system in mouse cells; murine OSM, however, exclusively activates the type II gp130 and OSMR system."
reach
"Oncostatin M. Oncostatin M (OSM) is an inflammatory cytokine that also belongs to the family of gp130 related cytokines, and as such, OSM stimulates transmembrane signaling by binding and activating either of two receptor complexes : (1) gp130 and LIFR (leukemia inhibitor factor receptor) heterodimers, and (2) gp130 and OSM receptor (OSMR)."
