Synopsis

The Extracellular Matrix FactsBook catalogs a wealth of invaluable facts relating to the diverse groups of macromolecules that assemble to form the extracellular matrix. This text contains more than 40 entries, including aggrecan, cartilage matrix proteins, collagens, fibrinogen, and laminins. This book provides information on the molecular structure, isolation, primary structure, databse accession numbers, structural and funcational sites, and gene structure for each protein. Key refrences are provided.
* This is the fourth volume in the FactsBook series. It contains over 40 entries. Each entry has a common format, using a minimum of text, and includes information on the sequence, function, expression and physicochemical properties of each protein. The volume covers collagens, proteoglycans and non-collagenous proteins.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

How do you keep track of basic information on the proteins you work with? Where do you find details on their physicochemical properties, amino acid sequences, gene organization? Are you tired of scanning review articles, primary papers and databases to locate that elusive fact?
The Academic Press FactsBook series has established itself as the best source of easily-accessible and accurate facts about protein groups. Described as 'A growing series of excellent manuals' by Molecular Medicine Today, and 'Essential works of reference' by Trends in Biochemical Sciences, the FactsBooks have become the most popular comprehensive data resources available. Using the same easy-to-follow format, the new second editions will now keep you up-to-date with the latest advances, and provide you with all the new facts at your fingertips. Meticulously researched and compiled by experts in the field, keeping abreast of developments has never been so easy!
The Second Edition of The Extracellular Matrix FactsBook has been completely revised, updated and expanded by over 50%. It contains over 85 entries on the diverse group of macromolecules that assemble to form the extracellular matrix.
Entries provides information on
* Molecular structure
* Isolation
* Primary structure
* Structural and functional sites
* Gene structure
* Database accession numbers
* Key references
