[interleukin]
Collective term for a group of structurally and functionally distinct soluble proteins secreted by different types of leukocytes that are involved in cell-to-cell communication (for nomenclature see also: Mizel and Farrar, 1979; Smith et al, 1986). They were once thought to mediate communication between leukocytes.
A factor is classified as an interleukin if its primary structure is known and the factor has been characterized biochemically (for some personal views of problems associated with nomenclature see also: Some personal remarks; see also Cytokines).
Interleukins are involved in processes of cell activation, cell differentiation
