Properties of the Novel Proinflammatory Supergene "Intercrine" Cytokine Family
1 Apr 1991
Abstract excerpt
A family consisting of at least ten distinct novel 8-10 kd cytokines has been identified over the past 12 years. These cytokines exhibit from 20 to 45% homology in amino acid sequence, are probably all basic heparin-binding polypeptides, and have proinflammatory and reparative activities. The cDNA for these cytokines are characterized by conserved single open reading frames, typical signal sequences in the 5'...
