Embryokines (Greek: embryuon "embryo" + kinōs "movement") are regulatory molecules produced by the reproductive tract that modulate embryonic development.[1]

Among the molecules that function as embryokines are insulin-like growth factor-1,[2] cytokines (e.g., colony stimulating factor 2),[3] WNT regulatory proteins (i.e., DKK1[4] and members of the transforming growth factor family (e.g., activin).[5]
