AB High-Yield  TermsSignal  transduction:  refers  to  the  movement  of  signals  from  outside  the  cell  to  inside,  resulting  in  a  change  in  the  “state”  of  the  cellGrowth  factor:  any  of  a  family  of  proteins  that  bind  to  receptors  with  the  primary  result  of  activating  cellular  proliferation  and/or  differentiationCytokine:  any  of  unique  family  of  growth  factor  proteins  primarily  secreted  from  leukocytesChemokine:  a  subfamily  of  cytokines  (chemotactic  cytokines)  that  is  capable  of  inducing  chemotaxisInterleukin:  any  of  a  family  of  multifunctional  cytokines  that  are  produced  by  a  variety  of  lymphoid  and  nonlymphoid  cellsSerpentine  receptors:  any  of  a  family  of  G-protein–coupled  receptors  (GPCRs)  so  called  because  they  span  the  plasma  membrane  7  timesG-protein:  any  of  a  large  family  of  proteins  that  bind  and  hydrolyze  GTP  in  the  act  of  transmitting  signals,  includes  the  heterotrimeric  and  the  monomeric  G-protein  familiesNuclear  receptors:  intracellular  receptors  that  bind  lipophilic  ligands  and  then  bind  to  specific  DNA  sequences  in  target  genes  regulating  their  expression
