Oncostatin-M (OSM) is a multifunctional cytokine that belongs to the Interleukin-6 subfamily. Among the family members, OSM is most closely related to leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and it in fact utilizes the LIF receptor in addition to its specific receptor in the human. A biologically active OSM receptor has been previously described that consists of a heterodimer of leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) and gp130. OSM is synthesized by stimulated T-cells and monocytes. Furthermore, the effects of OSM on endothelial cells suggest a pro-inflammatory role for OSM and endothelial cells possess a large number of OSM receptors. Recombinant Mouse OSM contains 215 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 22.4 kDa. It has approximately 48 % and 72 % amino acid sequence identity with human and Mouse OSM.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF or MMIF), also named as glycosylation-inhibiting factor (GIF), L-dopachrome isomerase, or phenylpyruvate tautomerase, is a protein encoded by the MIF gene. It is released from white blood cells by bacterial antigen stimulation to trigger an acute immune response, or by glucocorticoids to counter-act the inhibitory effects of glucocorticoids on immune system. MIF is a homotrimer of which each subunit contains 115 amino acids. As mentioned above, MIF is involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens and counter-acts the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids. Furthermore, it also plays a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense and has phenylpyruvate tautomerase and dopachrome tautomerase activity in vitro. Rat MIF is 99 %, 90 %, 89 %, and 89 % a.a. identical to human, Mouse, porcine and bovine, respectively.

Midkine, also named MK, MK1, NEGF 2, is belonging to the neurotrophic and developmentally-regulated heparin-binding molecules family and it is encoded by the MDK gene. Midkine includes five intrachain disulfide bonds which held two domains and there are three antiparallel beta-sheets in each domain. A chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, protein-tyrosine phosphatase zeta (PTPzeta), is a receptor for MK. MK promotes the growth, survival, and migration of various cells, and plays roles in neurogenesis and epithelial mesenchymal interactions during organogenesis. The predicted molecular weight is approximately 13.2 kDa, based on a mature peptide length of 118 amino acid residues in the mouse and 121 amino acid residues in the human. Mature rat midkine shares 89% and 98% a.a. sequence identity with human and Mouse.
