Inflammatory Mediator Activity

Molecular classification
Cytokine, Chemokine, Vasoactive Amine, Eicosanoid, Complement Peptide, Kinin
01

Overview

Inflammatory mediator activity refers to the function of a diverse group of endogenous molecules that are released by cells—primarily immune and tissue cells—in response to injury, infection, or other harmful stimuli. These mediators play a central role in initiating, amplifying, regulating, and resolving inflammation as part of the body’s defense and healing processes. It is not a single molecule or receptor; rather, it is an umbrella term for the collective activity of various chemical substances (mediators) involved in inflammation. Includes both small molecules (e.g., histamine) and larger proteins (e.g., cytokines).
