Synopsis

Polypeptide hormones play a central role in the regulation of biological processes from the control of vital functions to the programming of birth, development, reproduction and ageing. This text 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, calcuim and tyrosyl kinases. The first volume of this two-volume work was entitled "Peptide Hormone Secretion".

Revue de presse

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.

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.
