Cytokine Family Database (dbCFC)

The Cytokine Family Database (dbCFC) is a collection of cDNA, gene and protein records of cytokines deposited in public databases. It provides various information about the cytokine members of vertebrates in other databases including NCBI GenBank, Swiss-Prot, UniGene, TIGR (The Institute for Genomic Research) Gene Indices, Ensembl, Entrez Gene, Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) and Rat Genome Database (RGD). It also provides orthologous relationship of cytokine members and includes novel members identified in the databases.

The above databases are periodically searched, and the identification of each record in the dbCFC is not necessarily identical to the identifier that is found, for example, in the DEFINITION line of the GenBank record.

If you find the dbCFC useful, please send a message to us. It greatly helps us obtain a grant to maintain the dbCFC. Many thanks for your time.
