Advances in Serotonin Receptor Research : Molecular Biology, Signal Transduction and Therapeutics - Papers Presented at a Conference Entitled "Serotonin Receptors: Molecular Biology, Signal Transduction and Therapeutics, 1997" Held by the Center for Biological Research on October 8-10, 1997 in San Francisco, California

This volume addresses a number of key issues concerning receptor function and control.

Special attention is paid to the physiological relevance of information obtained from recombinant receptor-transducer systems, especially in terms of constitutive receptor activity and receptor-transducer pleiotropism.

The book also covers genetic basis of disease diagnosis and treatment, the molecular basis of drug-and-receptor trafficking, the importance of receptor-receptor interactions in cell conditioning and the utility of mutagenesis studies and transgenics in drug discovery.

This volume should provide insights into novel approaches to serotonin receptor-targeted therapeutics.
