The OSMR gene (OSMR stands for Oncostatin M Receptor) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5p13.1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
OSMR gene
DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
General informationThis section has been translated automatically.
The OSMR gene Gene encodes a member of the type I cytokine receptor family. The encoded protein heterodimerizes with the interleukin-6 signal transducer to the type II oncostatin M recept or and with the interleukin-31 receptor A to the interleukin-31 receptor, thus transmitting oncostatin M- and interleukin-31-induced signaling events.
Clinical pictureThis section has been translated automatically.
Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis.
Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.
Biological processes associated with this gene include growth factor binding and oncostatin M receptor activity.
