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.

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 17B (IL-17B) predicts a molecular mass of 20.4 kDa, is expressed in several peripheral tissues and immune tissues. In contrast to the high level of IL-6 secretion stimulated by IL-17A, IL-17B failed to induce IL-6 secretion in fibroblasts; however, it significantly enhanced the TNF-α-induced production of G-CSF and IL-6 in the fibroblasts.

Descriptions:Fibroblast Growth Factors-20 (FGF-20) is a 23.5 kDa member of the fibroblast Growth Factors with 211 amino acid residues. FGF-20 is mainly expressed from microglial cells. FGF-20 can regulate central nervous development and function, regulate the survival of dopaminergic neurons via FGF/FGFR-dependent signaling pathway.

Descriptions:Galectin-10 (Gal-10) is a lectin family member and is one of the prototype galectins. It contains one carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD), responsible for β-galactoside binding, and is biologically active as homodimers. It has been reported that galectin-10 is presented in eosinophils but also detected in basophils and macrophages. Accumulated evidence indicates that galectin-10 spontaneously forms Charcot-Leyden crystals (CLCs), participating in allergic responses and related inflammatory reactions. Several binding partners for galectin-10 have been identified, including eosinophil granule cationic ribonucleases, eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN, RNS2), and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP, RNS3), demonstrating the interaction is essential for eosinophil differentiation and granulogenesis.

Descriptions:Interleukin 34 (IL-34) is a 23.98 kDa cytokine with 216 amino acid residues. IL-34 is a ligand of the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) and is mainly secreted from the adrenal, frontal lobe, and cortex. IL-34 play a vital role in the proliferation, survival, differentiation, and migration of myeloid cells. These functions are mediated by IL-33 activating ERK1 /2, JAK, and PI3K/AKT signal pathways.

Descriptions:Interleukin-34 (IL-34) is a 30 kDa cytokine with 223 amino acid residues. IL-34 is a ligand of CSF-1R and secreted from CSF-1R expressing cells like myeloid cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and neurons. IL-34 mediates cell survival, proliferation, cytokine/chemokine expression, and migration via activating several signaling pathways. Moreover, it also plays a critical role in developing and maintaining the mononuclear phagocytic system.

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:C-X-C motif chemokine 9 (CXCL9) also named monokine induced by gamma interferon (MIG), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL9 is a 11.4kDa protein containing 103 amino acid residues. CXCL9 controls the immune cells by binding the CXCR3 which is including the cell migration and activation. During inflammation, CXCL9 is a chemotaxis for lymphocyte and macrophages. CXCL9 is participated in the process of tumor proliferation and metastasis.
