Handbook of Cell Signaling, Three-Volume Set

"The Handbook of Cell Signaling" is a comprehensive work covering all aspects of intracellular signal processing, including extra/intracellular membrane receptors, signal transduction, gene expression/translation, and cellular/organotypic signal responses.

The subject matter has been divided into five main parts (each of which is headed by a recognized expert in the field): Initiation: Extracellular and Membrane Events; Transmission: Effectors and Cytosolic Events; Nuclear Responses: Gene Expression and Translation; Events in Intracellular Compartments; and Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Interactions.

Covered in extensive detail, these areas will appeal to a broad, cross-disciplinary audience interested in the structure, biochemistry, molecular biology and pathology of cellular effectors.

Tabular and well-illustrated, the Handbook will serve as an in-depth reference for this complex and evolving field.

It contains approximately 470 articles, and provides well-organized sections on each essential area in signaling.

It includes discussion on everything from ligand/receptor interactions to organ/organism responses.
