- Chemokine - Wikipedia
Chemokines are found in all vertebrates, some viruses and some bacteria, but none have been found in other invertebrates Chemokines have been classified into four main subfamilies: CXC, CC, CX3C and C
- A guide to chemokines and their receptors - PMC
The chemokines (or chemotactic cytokines) are a large family of small, secreted proteins that signal through cell surface G protein‐coupled heptahelical chemokine receptors They are best known for their ability to stimulate the migration of cells, most notably white blood cells (leukocytes)
- Chemokine | Immune Response, Inflammation Cytokines | Britannica
Chemokine, any of a group of small hormonelike molecules that are secreted by cells and that stimulate the movement of cells of the immune system toward specific sites in the body
- What are Chemokines? - News-Medical. net
Chemokines are a large subfamily of small cell signaling proteins or cytokines, which in conjunction with their G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), govern the process of cell migration
- Chemokines: Introduction | British Society for Immunology
Chemokines are grouped and named according to their amino acid composition, particularly on the first two cysteine residues of a conserved tetra-cysteine motif The CC and CXC chemokines form the two largest groups The molecules CX3CL1, XCL1 and XCL2 are also regarded as chemokines
- Chemokines: Key Players in Immune and Inflammatory Responses
Chemokines typically consist of 70 to 130 amino acids, forming a compact, globular structure stabilized by disulfide bonds These bonds maintain the protein’s three-dimensional shape, necessary for receptor binding and signaling A defining feature of chemokines is the presence of conserved cysteine residues, organized into specific motifs
- What Is A Chemokine? | Essential Immune Signals
Chemokines are small signaling proteins that guide the movement of immune cells throughout the body, playing a crucial role in immune responses Chemokines are a subset of cytokines, which are proteins that facilitate communication between cells
- Chemokines — Chemotactic Cytokines That Mediate Inflammation
Chemokine or chemokine-receptor antagonists may inhibit autoimmune, allergic, and septic processes In addition, chemokines may augment the host response to infection, tumors, and vaccines
