Receptor Endocytosis and Signalling in Health and Disease - Part B

Receptor Endocytosis and Signalling in Health and Disease, Part B, Volume 196 highlights the different aspects of receptor endocytosis and signaling, covering several receptors which are associated with different organs and that play a key role in normal functioning in the body, including somatostatin, Mas receptor, AMPA, Dopamine, 5-HT1-2, GABA, GPCR, nuclear receptor, Integrin, BCR, CRHR1, etc. Chapters in this new release include Internalization of somatostatin receptors in brain and periphery, Mas receptor, signaling and trafficking in health and disease, Endocytosis of AMPA receptors: Role in neurological conditions, Endocytosis of dopamine receptor: Signaling in brain, and more.

Additional chapters cover Endocytosis of LXRs: Signalling in liver, Endocytosis of LDL receptor: Importance in cardiovascular diseases, Advances in the molecular level understanding of G-protein-coupled receptor, Nuclear receptor: Structure and function, Integrin receptor trafficking in health and disease, B Cell Receptor (BCR) endocytosis,CRHR1 endocytosis: Spatiotemporal regulation of receptor signaling, and much more.

• Provides information on the structure and function of nuclear receptors
• Discusses the basic pathways involved in receptor internalization, subcellular trafficking, metabolic degradation, and signaling
• Includes a wide range of neurological receptors and their roles
