Predicted to enable cytokine activity; growth factor activity; and oncostatin-M receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including oncostatin-M-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of protein phosphorylation; positive regulation of signal transduction; and tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Orthologous to human OSM (oncostatin M). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
