Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), also known as colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2), is a monomeric glycoprotein secreted by...
CCL2 is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that is also known as monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1). This chemokine is produced...
VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor) is a potent mediator of both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in the fetus and adult. It is required for regulating...
TNFa is synthesized as a 26 kDa, type II transmembrane protein that is 233 amino acids in length. It contains a 30 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a 26...
TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1, a member of the TIMP family. The glycoprotein is a natural inhibitor of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a group of...
TGF-? is capable of producing a variety of effects and virtually all cell types respond to this factor in some way. The inappropriate presence of active...
RETN gene belongs to the family defined by the mouse resistin-like genes. The characteristic feature of this family is the C-terminal stretch of 10 cys...
?-NGF gene is a member of the NGF-beta family and encodes a secreted protein which homodimerizes and is incorporated into a larger complex. This protein has...
Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as...
LEP gene encodes a protein that is secreted by white adipocytes, and which plays a major role in the regulation of body weight. This protein, which acts...
IL-23 acts as a growth factor for activated T and NK cells. IL-23 induces auto immune inflammation and may be responsible for auto immune inflammatory...
Interleukin 22 (IL-22) is a cytokine thought to be involved in the response to inflammation through the Jak/STAT and MAPK signaling pathways. IL-22 is...
Interleukin-18 (IL-18 or Interferon gamma-inducing factor) is a proinflammatory cytokine in the IL-1 superfamily. IL-18 has overlapping and synergistic...
The protein encoded by IL-17 gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and...
IL-13 gene encodes an immunoregulatory cytokine produced primarily by activated Th2 cells. This cytokine is involved in several stages of B-cell maturation...
IL12A gene encodes a subunit of a cytokine that acts on T and natural killer cells, and has a broad array of biological activities. The cytokine is a...
The protein encoded by IL-10 gene is a cytokine produced primarily by monocytes and to a lesser extent by lymphocytes. This cytokine has pleiotropic effects...
The protein encoded by IL-8 gene is a member of the CXC chemokine family. This chemokine is one of the major mediators of the inflammatory response. This...
IL-6 gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an...
Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is a small, 113 amino acid cytokine produced by T cells involved in the differentiation of B-cells to immunoglobulin secreting cells....
