A generic term used to describe a group of polypeptides with related chemical structures and pharmacological properties that are widely distributed in nature.

Thus, they comprise a subset of the large number of mediators that contribute to the inflammatory response. (From Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacologic Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p588)
