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) (PubMed:10997905, PubMed:39532904, PubMed:8999038). Functionally, regulates many processes including cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cytokine production (PubMed:10997905, PubMed:1542792, PubMed:1542793, PubMed:1717982, PubMed:2779549, PubMed:3540948). Mechanistically, low affinity ligand binding to IL6ST/gp130, induces heterodimerization with LIFR or OSMR, activating JAK tyrosine kinases (JAK1 or JAK2 and to a lesse…
