Description
Summary:This book summarizes developments in membrane receptor research, membrane transport and signal transduction mechanisms. The general principles of regulation by signal transduction and protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation are presented in the context of specific cellular processes. This also includes the role of protein tyrosine kinases which are structurally related to oncogene products and, therefore, implicated in various aspects of cell development and transformation. All topics are placed in the larger context of the current knowledge on the structure and function of membranes; connections between different fields of research are established by in-depth discussions on energy transduction and transport mechanisms.
