The goal of the characterization and discovery of G protein-coupled receptors, arguably the most important class of signaling molecules in humans and other vertebrates, has spawned numerous vital methodologies. In Methods for the Discovery and Characterization of G Protein-Coupl…
The objective of this ""CTMI"" volume is to provide readers with a foundation for understanding what ADARs are and how they act to affect gene expression and function. It is becoming increasingly apparent that ADARs may possess roles not only as enzymes that deaminate adenosine …

Today, activation endoproteolysis of secretory proteins is recognized as a fundamental biological mechanism of spatial and temporal regulation of protein activity as well as of diversification of protein functions. In Proprotein Convertases, experts in the field examine detailed…
It is increasingly clear that signal transduction is a highly organized and integrated process. Divided into two convenient sections, Signal Transduction Protocols, Third Edition focuses on experimental approaches to better understand the complexity of signal transduction. Intro…
Although initially described as major regulators of cytoskeletal remodeling, Rho GTPases have been implicated in the establishment of polarity, endocytosis, vesicle trafficking, morphogenesis, cytokinesis, transcriptional activation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis, to men…
Driving further the research on mammalian alkaline phosphatase structure and function, Phosphatase Modulators collects expert contributions into one "how to" manual for basic scientists interested in initiating a drug discovery effort. While this book contains the traditional me…
Proteases decisively contribute to cancer development and promotion by regulating the activities of growth factors/cytokines and signaling receptors, as well as the composition of the extracellular matrix, thereby suppressing cell death pathways and activating cell survival path…
Serum paraoxonases (PONs) comprise a family of mammalian hydrolases that exhibit a wide range of promiscuous activities, including organophosphate (OP) hydrolysis. Human PON1 is associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and plays a key role in the prevention of atherosclero…
