Chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor-4 (CXCR4) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). It is the only known receptor for stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), and SDF-1 is the only known ligand for CXCR4 [1].

Oncostatin M is a multifunctional cytokine produced by activated T lymphocytes, monocytes and microglia. It is structurally and functionally related to the subfamily of hematopoietic and neurotrophic cytokines known as the Interleukin 6 (IL6)-type cytokine family [1].
