| chemokine | Cytokines that are chemotactic for leucocytes. The first member of the family was IL-8 interleukin-8) but subsequently many other members have been identified. They can now be sub divided into two groups on the basis of the arrangement of a pair of conserved cysteines: the C x C group includes platelet Factor 4, platelet basic protein, interleukin 8, melanoma growth stimulatory protein, macrophage inflammatory protein 2, the C C group contains (18 Nov 1997) |
| chemokine receptor | A molecule that receives a chemokine and a chemokine dock. Several chemokine receptors are essential co-receptors for HIV. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemokines | Class of pro-inflammatory cytokines that have the ability to attract and activate leukocytes. They can be divided into at least three structural branches: c (chemokines, c), cc (chemokines, cc), and cxc (chemokines, cxc), according to variations in a shared cysteine motif. (12 Dec 1998) |

| chemotaxis |
Chemotaxis is the phenomenon in which bodily cells, bacteria, and other single-celled or multicellular organisms direct their movements according to certain chemicals in their environment. This is important for bacteria to find food (for example, glucose) by swimming towards the highest concentration of food molecules, or to flee from poisons (for example, phenol). In multicellular organisms, chemotaxis is critical in development as well as normal function. ...
