    GlossaryCytokine receptor

    protein on cell surface that binds signaling molecules

    A cytokine receptor is a type of protein found on the surface of cells that binds to cytokines, which are signaling molecules that help regulate the immune system and inflammation. When a cytokine binds to its receptor, it triggers a series of cellular responses that can influence cell growth, differentiation, and immune responses. This interaction is crucial for coordinating the body's defense mechanisms and maintaining homeostasis.
