Descriptions:FGF16 is preferentially expressed in the heart after birth, suggesting its regulation is associated with tissue-specific chromatin remodeling and DNA-protein interactions. Mutation of the MEF2 site resulted in a blunting of FGF16 promoter activity in transfected neonatal rat cardiac myocytes, that chromatin remodeling and MEF2 binding in the FGF16 promoter contribute to expression in the postnatal heart.

Descriptions:Interleukin 16(IL-16) predicts a molecular mass of 13.5 kDa, encoded by this gene is a pleiotropic cytokine that functions as a chemoattractant, a modulator of T cell activation, and an inhibitor of HIV replication, and signaling process of this cytokine is mediated by CD4.

Descriptions:Interleukin 9 (IL-9) is a pleiotropic cytokine that had pleiotropic functions in the immune system, has a molecular mass of 14.5 kDa. The major source of IL-9 is T lymphocytes. It is secreted by CD4+ helper cells that acts as a regulator of a variety of hematopoietic cells.

Descriptions:C-X-C motif chemokine 6 (CXCL6) also named granulocyte chemotactic protein 2 (GCP-2), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL6 is a 8.3kDa protein containing 75 amino acid residues. CXCL6 has a significant role in resistance of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria which is a chemotaxis for neutrophil granulocytes. CXCL6 has a role in in the process of carcinogenesis which affects proliferation and metastasis of OS cells by the interaction with CXCR1 /CXCR2.

Descriptions:Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors 121 (VEGF121) is a truncated version of VEGF165, which produced in E. coli is a homodimer, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain and having a molecular mass of 28.4 kDa. There is three different isoforms (120, 164 and 188 a.a.) found in mouse. VEGF 121 shows that lack basic heparin-binding regions and are freely diffusible. Mouse VEGF121 shares 98% identity with corresponding regions of rat, 89% with canine, feline, equine and porcine, and 87% with human, ovine and bovine VEGF, respectively.

Descriptions:Interleukin 31 (IL-31) is a 15.65 kDa cytokine with 141 amino acid residues. IL-31 is mainly secreted from Th2 cells and binds to a receptor called IL-31RA. Upon binding to IL-31RA, IL-31 activates several signal pathways like MAPK, PI3K/AKT, and Jak/STAT pathways. It is critical in regulating many biological functions, such as cell proliferation, hematopoiesis, induction of cytokines, inflammation, and immune response. It also responds to an antigen by facilitating cell-mediated immunity.

Descriptions:C-X-C motif chemokine 3 (CXCL3) also named Growth-regulated oncogene gamma (GROγ), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL3 is a 8kDa protein containing 73 amino acid residues. During inflammation, CXCL3 is activated by the TNF and IL-1 which mediates the monocytes migration and adhesion by targeting the CXCR2. CXCL3 activates the JNK activity which induce the cell differentiation.

Descriptions:C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 3 (CCL3) is a 7.66 kDa cytokine with 69 amino acid residues. CCL3, also known as macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha (MIP-1-alpha), is expressed in the spleen, lung, and articular cartilage. Upon binding to the receptor, CCR1, CCR4, or CCR5, CCL3 plays a vital role in immune response, such as inflammation, recruitment of immune cells, and production of IL-1β and TNF. In addition, CCL3 also participates in resistance to type 1 virus infection, astrocyte cell migration, regulation of macromolecule metabolic process, and regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade.

Descriptions:C-X-C motif chemokine 5 (CXCL5) also named epithelial-derived neutrophil-activating peptide 78 (ENA-78), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL5 is a 8.2 kDa protein containing 74 amino acid residues. CXCL5 is stimulated by the IL-1 or TNFα during inflammation which produced by the eosinophils and CXCL5 is inhibited by the IFNγ.CXCL5 promotes the formation of blood vessels and angiogenesis by binding the cell receptor CXCR2.

Descriptions:Interleukin-1 alpha (IL1 alpha or IL1α) is a member of the interleukin-1 cytokine family, found constitutively present in epithelial layers of the entire gastrointestinal tract, lung, liver, kidney, endothelial cells, and astrocytes. The synthesized IL-1 alpha is a 31 kDa inactive precursor and can be cleaved by intracellular caspase-1 or extracellular proteases to generate the bioactive 17 kDa form and the 16 kDa N-terminal cleavage product. Both precursor and mature IL-1 alpha protein bind to the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R), initiating a cascade of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines production such as IL-6, IL-8, and TNF, in response to viral and bacterial pathogens conditions. IL-1 alpha plays a central role in immune-surveillance mechanisms, stimulating macrophages, neutrophils, and CD8+ T cells activity.
