Chemokines Signaling Pathway

Chemokines are a family of chemoattractant cytokines released by tissues in the earliest phases of infection. They are usually produced by a wide variety of cell types in response to bacterial products, viruses, and agents that trigger physical damage. These small proteins directly induce chemotaxis in nearby responsive cells, leading to the movement of the cells toward the source of the chemokines.
