Cytokines

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner.     
Examples Chemokines; Growth Differentiation Factor 15; Hematopoietic Cell Growth Factors; Hepatocyte Growth Factor; Interferons; Interleukin 1 Receptor Antagonist Protein; Interleukins; Leukemia Inhibitory Factor; Lymphokines; Monokines; Oncostatin M; Osteopontin; Transforming Growth Factor beta; Tumor Necrosis Factors
