Descriptions:Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine with a molecular weight of 70 kDa composed of two subunits, IL-12 p35 (35 kDa) and IL-12 p40 (40 kDa). IL-12 p40 is induced in excess over the other subunits of IL-12 and IL-23 and can exist in a monomeric or homodimeric form.

Descriptions:Fibroblast Growth Factors-19 (FGF-19) is a 24 kDa member of the fibroblast Growth Factors with 216 amino acid residues. FGF-19 is mainly secreted from cholangiocytes, ductal cells. FGF-19 involved cell proliferation, glucose and bile acid metabolism via FGFR4 pathway.

Descriptions:Interleukin 36 gamma (IL-36 gamma) is a 17.65 kDa cytokine with 159 amino acid residues. IL-36 gamma is a member of the IL-1 family and is mainly expressed in keratinocytes, bronchial epithelial cells, macrophages, and monocyte. This cytokine responds to multiple pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and participates in the inflammatory response. In addition, it also induces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-12, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-23.

Descriptions:Galectin-4 (Gal-4) is a lectin family member and is one of the tandem repeat-type galectins containing two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD) connected by a linker region in a single peptide chain. The CRD is responsible for β-galactoside binding, and several binding partners for galectin-4 have been identified, including human blood group antigens, glycoproteins, mucin like membrane MUC1, glycosphingolipids, and sulfated cholesterol. Galectin-4 is constitutively presented in the intestine and stomach, uterine epithelial cells, blood vessel walls, hippocampal and cortical neurons. It serves important functions in numerous biological activities including lipid raft stabilization, protein apical trafficking, cell adhesion, wound healing, intestinal inflammation, and host defense.

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:Interleukin 25 (IL-25) is a cytokine with proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects, it predicts a molecular mass of 16.7 kDa. It can induce NF-κB activation, and stimulate the production of IL-8, which is the major chemotactic substance of neutrophils.

Descriptions:C-X-C motif chemokine 2 (CXCL2) also named Growth-regulated oncogene beta (GROβ), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL2 is a 8.1 kDa protein containing 73 amino acid residues. CXCL2 is often expressed in immune cells such as macrophages and monocytes. CXCL2 plays an important role with immune responses and cancer progression. CXCL2 activates the cell signal transduction with casepas1 that affects the cell proliferation, differentiation and migration.

Descriptions:Interleukin-38 (IL-38) is a member of the interleukin-1 cytokine family. IL-38 is a ligand for soluble IL-1 receptor type I (IL-1RI). IL-38 could block the IL-36 pathway by inhibiting the IL-36 cytokine binding to their receptor. This process shows that IL-38 has anti-inflammatory properties. IL-38 is expressed in the immune organs, specifically in the skin and the tonsil, indispensable for B cell proliferation.

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: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.
