Cytokine Receptors
Cytokine receptors are proteins found on the surface of cells, especially immune cells, that bind to molecules known as cytokines. They help regulate the body's response to infection and inflammation as well as other processes such as cell growth, differentiation and proliferation. By binding to specific cytokines, the receptors can signal the cell to move, produce proteins, or undergo other processes necessary for the immune system to properly respond to pathogens. In addition, cytokine receptors are also involved in autoimmune reactions and the growth, differentiation, and death of cells. They are essential for maintaining health and mediating the development and progression of diseases.
