Unconventional Protein Secretion: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology, 1459)

This volume presents relevant background information to understanding the molecular basis governing unconventional protein secretion (UPS), and in particular explores the latest techniques and protocols that have been successfully applied for the study of this topic. Detailed chapters include an overview of conventional and unconventional secretory pathways along with multidisciplinary approaches and methods used for UPS analysis in different organisms. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format,chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 Authoritative and cutting-edge, Unconventional Protein Secretion: Methods and Protocols will beuseful for all interested in the secretory pathway field as well as applications in cell biology, cell development, biomedical research, and healthcare.
