Chemokines, short for chemotactic cytokines, are a complex superfamily of small, secreted proteins (6-14 kD) that were originally characterized by their effects on a variety of leukocytes. Usually chemokines act on more than one leukocyte, and a leukocyte can express more than one type of receptor. To date there are at least 40 known chemokines and at least 16 known receptors, and this number seems to increase daily. |
