Properties of cytokines 1.Cytokines are potent, low-molecular weight protein 2.Cell regulators, produced transiently and locally by numerous cell types.4.Cytokines usually act as signaling molecules (chemical messengers that tell cells how to behave )by binding to their own glycoprotein receptors on cell membranes.Cytokines should not be confused with hormones.

Properties of cytokines
1.Cytokines are potent, low-molecular weight protein
2.Cell regulators, produced transiently and locally by numerous cell types.
(Cytokines are small proteins (~5–25 kDa) that are made by certain immune and non-immune cells and has an effect on the immune system. Some cytokines stimulate the immune system and others slow it down. They can also be made in the laboratory and used to help the body fight cancer, infections, and other diseases)
3. Cytokines are multifunctional proteins whose biological properties suggest a key role in hematopoiesis, immunity, infectious disease, tumorigenesis, homeostasis, tissue repair, and cellular development and growth.
4.Cytokines usually act as signaling molecules (chemical messengers that tell cells how to behave )by binding to their own glycoprotein receptors on cell membranes.
Cytokines should not be confused with hormones. Hormones are a more specific kind of molecule as compared to cytokines.
Cytokines are produced by various cells such as macrophages, mast cells, B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, fibroblasts as well as endothelial cells, among others.
