Anti-OSMR (Oncostatin-M-specific Receptor Subunit beta, Interleukin-31 Receptor Subunit beta, IL-31

Oncostatin M Receptor beta (OSM Rb) is a type I transmembrane protein that binds OSM with low affinity by itself and high affinity as an OSM Rb/gp130 heterodimer. OSM Rb is widely expressed and transduces signals involved in hematopoiesis, liver development, peripheral neuron repair and epithelial cell function. Mature human OSM Rb contains a 712aa extracellular domain (ECD) with one partial and one complete hematopoietin domain, an Ig-like domain and three fibronectin type-III domains, a 22aa transmembrane segment, and a 218aa cytoplasmic domain. Human OSM Rb ECD shares 55% aa sequence identity with mouse OSM Rb. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Hybridoma: Fusion of a mouse myeloma with B cells obtained from a mouse immunized with purified, NS0-derived, recombinant human OSM Rb. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Freezing APC conjugates will result in a substantial loss of activity. APC conjugates are sensitive to light.
