Molecular Aspects of G Protein-coupled Receptors
In the recent years, studies based on two-hybrid screens, proteomic, biochemical and cell biology approaches, have shown that intracellular domains of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) or heptaspanning membrane receptors (HSMRs) interact with intracellular proteins. These interactions are the basis of a protein network associated to these receptors which includes scaffolding proteins containing one or several PDZ (post-synaptic density-95, discs large, zona occludens-1) domains, signalling proteins and proteins of the cytoskeleton. The present book is focused on the emerging evidence for interactions of G protein-coupled receptors with scaffolding, cytoskeletal and signalling proteins that will play a role in the targeting, anchoring and functioning of these receptors in the plasma membrane, thus contributing to cell development and plasticity.
Weird Combinations of Food Women Crave When Pregnant, and More... Written by Two Men
The idea for this book came about when a pregnant co-worker dipped a slice of green apple in her salsa. Having two children of his own, Rafael Lujan began sharing his experience with pregnancy, and the concept for the book was born. James Kelly, being the avid fact finder, proceeded to research all the quirks and formalities of what new moms and dads go through. What started out as a humorous book on the weird cravings of pregnant women, soon turned into a "Pregnancy 101", covering everything from tips for optimal nutrition to fun facts.
Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
In this brief, Vladimir Uversky discusses the paradigm-shifting phenomenon of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and hybrid proteins containing ordered domains and functional IDP regions (IDPRs). Beginning with an introduction to the concept of protein intrinsic disorder, Uversky then goes on to describe the peculiar amino acid sequences of IDPs, their structural heterogeneity, typical functions and disorder-based binding modes. In the final sections, Uversky discusses IDPs in human diseases and as potential drug targets. This volume provides a snapshot to researchers entering the field as well as providing a current overview for more experienced scientists in related areas.
Regulatory Peptides in Neuroscience and Endocrinology: A New Era Begins
This Research Topic features recent developments in the field of regulatory peptide physiology and peptide-based therapeutics.
Receptor Signal Transduction Protocols
This second edition of Receptor Signal Transduction Protocols not only has a new editor, but also a greater focus on G-protein-coupled receptors, their properties per se, and their coupling to immediate downstream binding partners—principally, although not exclusively, the heterotrimeric G-proteins. The new edition combines updates of key chapters from the first edition, as well as a large number of new contributions covering key methodologies that have emerged, or been extended to receptor/G-protein research, in the past 5–6 years. In common with many fields, the range of methods used to assess the first steps in signal transduction are continually expanding and methods that might have ...
Trends in Signal Transduction Research
Signal transduction is any process by which a cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another. Processes referred to as signal transduction often involve a sequence of biochemical reactions inside the cell, which are carried out by enzymes and linked through second messengers. In many transduction processes, an increasing number of enzymes and other molecules become engaged in the events that proceed from the initial stimulus. Responses of cells to environmental signals, toxins and stressors have profound implications for diverse aspects of human health and disease including development, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, asthma, heart, autoimmune diseases and cancer. The delineation of the signal transduction pathways affected in these and other complex human diseases are likely to present new avenues for therapeutic intervention and understanding of human disease mechanisms.

Receptor and Ion Channel Detection in the Brain
Receptor and Ion Channel Detection in the Brain provides state-of-the-art and up-to-date methodological information on molecular, neuroanatomical and functional techniques that are currently used to study neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels in the brain. The chapters have been contributed by world-wide recognized neuroscientists who explain in an easy and detailed way well established and tested protocols embracing molecular, cellular, subcellular, anatomical and electrophysiological aspects of the brain. This comprehensive and practical manual is presented in a simple, step-by-step manner for laboratory use, and also offers unambiguous detail and key implementation advice that proves essential for successful results and facilitate choosing the best method for the target proteins under study. This work serves as a useful guide for young researchers and students in training as well as for neurologists and established scientists who wish to extend their repertoire of techniques.
