Details for anatomical structure: basophil granulocyte

EndoNet ID: ENC00251

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be:

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Synonyms

basophil granulocyte, basophilocyte, Granulocytus basophilicus

General information

granulocytic leukocyte with an irregular nucleus, mostly invisible because of the similar colour of the basophilic granules; contains Histamin, Heparin, Peroxidase and Serotonin; their reaction to binding antigens ceases in the typical allergic reaction; ressembles in its function mast cells

Substructures

    Secreted hormones

    • Hormone: IL-4

      • IL-4 and IL-13 are two cytokines produced by T helper type 2 cells, mast cells, and basophils. [1]
    • Hormone: IL-13

      • IL-4 and IL-13 are two cytokines produced by T helper type 2 cells, mast cells, and basophils. [1]
    • Hormone: histamine

      Influenced by:

      • IgE Fc receptor, alpha-subunit
        in basophil_granulocyte
        • PI3-kinase is involved in the signal transduction pathway responsible for histamine secretion following stimulation of Fc epsilon RI and that wortmannin blocks these responses through direct interaction with the catalytic subunit of this enzyme. [2]
    • Hormone: PAF

    Receptors

    • Receptor: histamine H4 receptor

    • Receptor: IL-5Ralpha

    • Receptor: IgE Fc receptor gamma-subunit

    • Receptor: CCR4

    • Receptor: IgE Fc receptor, subunit beta

    • Receptor: IgE Fc receptor, alpha-subunit

      Influences:

      • histamine
        • PI3-kinase is involved in the signal transduction pathway responsible for histamine secretion following stimulation of Fc epsilon RI and that wortmannin blocks these responses through direct interaction with the catalytic subunit of this enzyme. [2]
    • Receptor: complement C3d receptor
