Molecular Biology of Receptors and Transporters: Bacterial and Glucose Transporters, Volume 137A (Hardcover)

This multi-volume set within "International Review of Cytology" aims to encompass the recent advances in the understanding of structure-function relationships at the molecular level of receptors, transporters, and membrane proteins. Several diverse families of membrane receptors/proteins are discussed with respect to the molecular and cellular biology of their synthesis, assembly, turnover and function. Included are such receptor superfamilies as G-proteins, immunoglobulins, ligand-gated receptors, interleukins, and tyrosine kinases, as well as such transporter/protein families as pumps, ion channels and bacterial transporters. Each section of each volume will have the added feature of a "perspectives/commentary" chapter in which there will be comments on the recent advances and predictions on new directions. Volume 137A highlights the recent advances in bacterial and glucose transporter mechanisms.
