Peptide Hormone Action: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series)

By K. Siddle and Siddle K.

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.
