Descriptions:Tumor Necrosis Factor Beta (TNF beta) or lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-α) is a 19 kDa tumor necrosis factor family protein with 171 amino acid residues. TNF beta is mainly expressed from lymphocytes, and mediates variety of inflammatory, immunostimulatory, and antiviral responses. TNF beta also involves development in secondary lymphoid organs. It is cytotoxic for different tumor cells in vitro and in vivo.

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-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 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 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 12 (CXCL12) also named stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL12 is a 7.8 kDa protein containing 70 amino acid residues. CXCL12 has a key role in controling the immune responses which is often induced by the lipopolysaccharide or IL-1. CXCL12 also activates the leukocytes during inflammation. CXCL12 induces the migration and proliferation of cells like hematopoietic progenitor, stem cells and leukocytes.
