•Cytokines regulate the intensity and duration of the immune response, and they can act as growth factors or stimulants or even inhibitors of T cell amplification and differentiation.
•Cytokines are glycoproteins that are synthesized through a dolichol PP mediated pathway in the ER and are thus dependent upon prenyl lipid metabolism
Endoplasmic reticulum localized ADPGK serves glycoprotein synthesis and also functions to control glycolytic vs. aerobic bioenergetic intermediary metabolic agency in lymphocytes.
