Abstract excerpt
The binding of oncostatin M (OM) to type I and type II receptor complexes elicits various biological responses by activating MEK/ERK and JAK/STAT signaling pathways. Some OM effects are clinically desirable such as reducing hyperlipidemia through the activation of hepatic LDL receptor transcription, a downstream event of ERK activation. The OM pro-inflammatory responses via induction of acute phase protein gene...
