Interleukin 10
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) also known as human cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. In humans IL-10 is encoded by the IL10 gene.
Transient receptor potential channel
Transient receptor potential channels (TRP channels) are a group of ion channels located mostly on the plasma membrane of numerous human and animal cell types. There are about 28 TRP […]
Chemokine
Chemokines (Greek -kinos movement) are a family of small cytokines or signaling proteins secreted by cells. Their name is derived from their ability to induce directed chemotaxis in nearby responsive […]
CYP2E1
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (abbreviated CYP2E1 EC 1.14.13.n7) a member of the cytochrome P450 mixed-function oxidase system is involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics in the body. In humans the CYP2E1 […]
