description | On the basis of functional and structural similarities, the small cytokines leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and oncostatin (OSM) can be classified into a single family [, ].It has been said []that LIF and OSM can be included in the IL-6 family of cytokines, but while all these cytokines seem to be structurally related, the sequence similarity is not high enough to allow the use of a single consensus pattern. |
