Synopsis

Polypeptide hormones play a central role in the regulation of biological processes from the minute-to-minute control of vital functions to the programming of birth, development, reproduction, and aging. The second of two volumes on this subject, Peptide Hormone Action covers topics relating to the biosynthesis, processing, and secretion of polypeptides, and the major signalling systems which mediate hormone action, including cyclic nucleotides, inositol phosphates, diacylglycerol, calcium, and tyrosyl kinases.

About this title

Review

The Practical Approach series occupy a valuable niche in Biochemistry and Cell/Molecular Biology ... The present volume, which maintains the generally high standard of the series, is a companion to 'Peptide Hormone Secretion' ... the volume can be particularly recommended to research students or more senior workers who are just commencing a project involving the mechanism of action of an extracellular messenger, even if it is not a peptide hormoneR. * FEBS Letters * Together, Peptide Hormone Action: A Practical Approach and its companion volume, Peptide Hormone Secretion: A Practical Approach, provide both a detailed compendium of laboratory methods and a source of experimental ideas that will appeal to the novice and expert alike.
