This new edition of Guidebook to the Extracellular Matrix and Adhesion Proteins brings up-to-date information on the purification, activities, antibodies and genes for the proteins found in the extracellular matrix and those known to be involved in cell-cell contact and adhesion. Since the first edition much has been learned on the structure of these proteins and their diverse roles in cell communication and metabolite exchange. The Sambrook and Tooze guidebooks provide succinct and up-to-date information on particular classes of important biological molecules, accompanied by short bibliographies, which enable both specialists and newcomers to the field to gain access to unfamiliar work. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this volume addresses all aspects of the structure and function of modules in the extracellular matrix, adhesion molecules, cell adhesion and cell-cell contact proteins.
Review quote:
this small guidebook is indispensable.even veterans might enjoy the luxury of a single book that can be leafed at any time of the night or day to find just that one small desperately needed fact.
This text comprehensively details all that is currently known about the proteins found in the extracellular matrix and those known to be involved in cell-cell contact and adhesion. This new edition brings up-to-date information on the purification, activities, antibodies and genes for these proteins - drawing together current information from a wide range of sources.
