    Acts on a cell far away
  5. Paracrine

    Combined activity of both is greater (an additive effect)
  9. Cytokines: antagonistic
    Activiy of one cytokine inhibits the activity of another
  10. Coordinated panel of proteins
    Regulate each other or work together to regulate other components
