Many chemical mediators are found in body fluids such as sebum, saliva, mucus, gastric and intestinal fluids, urine, tears, cerumen, and vaginal secretions. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) found on the skin and in other areas of the body are largely produced in response to the presence of pathogens. These include dermcidin, cathelicidin, defensins, histatins, and bacteriocins.

Prostaglandins, molecules associated with localized pain, are synthesized in cells from arachidonic acid (see previous page) which has been cleaved from membrane lipids. The enzyme catalyzing their synthesis is known as prostaglandin synthase, but is more commonly referred to as a cyclooxygenase (or COX) enzyme.
