Table 1 Classification, perception and functions of phytocytokines Full size table Systemin is an 18-amino acid (aa) peptide, identified from wounded tomato leaf extracts and named as it can mediate long-distance systemic defense responses (McGurl et al.1992; Pearce et al.1991). Systemin was...
Multiple distinct families of cytokines have been identified, which include interleukins, tumor necrosis factors, interferons, transforming growth factor receptors, and chemokines. This article provides an overview of the classification, structure, and function of these major cytokine families....

Cytokines are low-molecular-weight proteins or glycoproteins of usually less than 30–40 kDa. They are mainly released from leukocytes, to a lesser degree from other cell types in response to exogenous stimuli. At picomolecular concentrations, they are high-affinity ligands for specific membrane rec...

According to this classification, cytokine receptors are divided into five families. Type I cytokine receptors, also called hemopoietim receptors, contain one or more copies of a domain with two conserved pairs of cysteine residues and membrane proximal sequence of tryptophan serine X tryptophan ...

3.2Classification The many attempts to classify cytokines over the last three decades and the complexities in devising classifications based on structural and/or functional parameters are not hard to understand given the sheer number of imprecisely defined ‘factors’ identified in the early years and...
