Cytokines
Active
Descriptions
Cytokines are any of several regulatory proteins, such as lymphokines or interleukins, released by cells of the immune system and act as intercellulary mediators in the generation of an immune response Source: Regenstrief Institute
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. Source: National Library of Medicine, MeSH 2006
