Descriptions:Haptoglobin is a glycoprotein, which is synthesized in the liver and circulates in the blood. Haptoglobin is usually produced by liver cells, but it is also produced by other tissues, such as skin, lung and kidney. It is a positive acute phase protein, which binds to free hemoglobin and removes it from circulation to prevent kidney injury and iron loss after hemolysis. Decreased levels can be seen in hemolysis and impaired liver function. A high level is a sign of acute or chronic inflammation. Hemoglobin deficiency or hypohaptoglobinemia is caused by mutation of haptoglobin gene and/or its regulatory region. Haptoglobin is also related to diabetic nephropathy, the incidence of coronary artery disease in type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease, inflammatory disease behavior, susceptibility to primary sclerosing cholangitis, idiopathic Parkinson's disease and the reduction of the incidence of plasmodium falciparum malaria.

Descriptions:Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) is a 17.26 kDa member of IL-1 family with 153 amino acid residues. IL-1RA is expressed by peripheral blood cells, lungs, spleen, liver and is secreted from monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and other cells. Inhibits the activity of interleukin-1 by binding to receptor IL1R1. IL-1RA can modulate a variety of interleukin-1 related immune and inflammatory responses, particularly in the acute phase of infection and inflammation.

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 8 kDa 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: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:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors also known as cytokines and as metabologens. BMP-12 regulates chondrogenesis, bone morphogenesis, and neuron differentiation.

Descriptions:C-X-C motif chemokine 4 (CXCL4) also named platelet factor 4 (PF4), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL4 is a 8kDa protein containing 70 amino acid residues. CXCL4 is produced by the activated platelets which plays an important role in immune responses. CXCL4 inhibit the cell proliferation, platelet aggregation and wound repair. CXCL4 also suppresses the hematopoiesis.

Descriptions:C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 4 (CCL4) is a 7.66 kDa cytokine with 69 amino acid residues. CCL4, also named macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β), is mainly secreted from neutrophils, monocytes, B cells, T cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. In addition, CCL4 participates in immune responses, including recruitment of immune cells like lymphocytes, monocytes, and leukocytes, response to IL-1 and IFNγ, and production of TNF when CCL4 binds to CCR5.

Descriptions:Transforming Growth Factors alpha (TGF-α) is a 5.68 kDa member of the epidermal Growth Factors with 51 amino acid residues. TGF-α is mainly expressed from brain, skin, epithelial cell (pancreatic endocrine cells, urothelial cells, oligodendrocyte precursor cells, etc.). TGF-α is a regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation via bind to the EGFR and to act synergistically with TGF β. TGF-α also associates with myriad forms of cancer.
