Inflammation pathway proteins

"Inflammation pathway proteins" is not a specific molecule or standard protein name but rather refers to a large group of proteins that regulate or participate in inflammatory processes. These include diverse families such as cytokines (e.g., interleukins, tumor necrosis factors), kinases (e.g., IκB kinase, MAP kinases), transcription factors (e.g., NF-κB), pattern recognition receptors (e.g., NOD-like receptors), and others involved in immune system signaling and inflammation[2][5][6][8]. This category is overly broad and cannot be unambiguously mapped to a unique molecular target suitable for structured annotation as required for drug discovery or mechanistic studies[3].
