Cytokine Signaling. Types of receptors . Protein tyrosine kinase receptors with intrinsic kinase activity Insulin, EGF, PDGF, CSF-1 etc. Protein serine kinase receptors with intrinsic kinase activity MIS, TGF b , activin, inhibin etc. Receptors without intrinsic kinase activity
E N D
Types of receptors • Protein tyrosine kinase receptors with intrinsic kinase activity • Insulin, EGF, PDGF, CSF-1 etc. • Protein serine kinase receptors with intrinsic kinase activity • MIS, TGFb, activin, inhibin etc. • Receptors without intrinsic kinase activity • This is the large, heterogeneous group called the cytokine receptor super family • G-protein coupled receptors and ion-gated receptors

Cytokine signaling mechanisms • Cytokines represent a diverse number of molecules. • The super family of cytokine receptors more specifically refers to those cytokines that signal via the Jak-STAT pathway • These include Interleukins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, & 15, and G-CSF, LIF and the interferons • In addition, growth hormone, prolactin, erythropoietin, leptin, thrombopoietin • Many growth factor signal pathways cross-communicate with the STAT pathway.
