Q

describe the signal transduction of cytokines and chemokines:

A
  1. ligand binds to a receptor- tyrosine kinase activity is generated by the receptor
  2. secondary messengers amplify and transmit signals
  3. transcription factors are generated
  4. gene transcription leads to protein synthesis and cell division
  5. cytokines and chemokines are released
