Description: This template shows three cytokine receptor families spanning the membrane, the TNF receptor family binding ligands like TNF-alpha and CD40 and signaling through TRAF, the type I and II hemopoietin receptors binding cytokines like IL-2 and IL-6 and signaling through Jak-STAT, and the IL-1 receptor family binding IL-1 and IL-18 through MyD88. Each family lists its known ligands above the receptor schematics.
