Target intelligence / Profile preview

Cytokine Stimulant

Molecular classification: Immunomodulator, Signaling molecule inducer

Overview

A cytokine stimulant is any agent that induces or enhances the production and/or release of cytokines from cells. Cytokines are key signaling molecules in the immune system, mediating and regulating immunity, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. Cytokine stimulants can be endogenous (such as microbial products or other cytokines) or exogenous (such as drugs designed to boost immune responses).

Mechanism of action

Activation of cellular pathways leading to synthesis and secretion of cytokines.
