Hormones
Endocrinology is a field in which enormous advances have been made in the last decade; the rate of discovery of new hormones, hormone-like molecules, receptors, and mechanisms of action is continually advancing. The development of techniques in immunology and molecular biology has led to the possibility of describing in detail the gene structure of many of the compounds involved in hormonal systems. Remarkable homology has been shown between oncogene products and various components of the endocrine network, leading to the asser tion that deregulation of hormonal function is involved in the generation and/or development of cancer. We now know that the central nervous system is both a target a...
Vasopressin and Oxytocin
This monograph provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the field of vasopressin and oxytocin. In the summer of 1997, scientists from over 20 countries congregated in Montreal for the 1997 World Congress of Neurohypophysial Hormones, a conference that united the fields of vasopressin, neurohypophysis and oxytocin in a single joint meeting that gave rise to the present book. The organization of a joint meeting was prompted by several recent developments. Specifically the molecular characterization of the vasopressin/oxytocin receptor family made it mandatory to adopt an integrated view and to discuss the vasopressin/oxytocin ligand/receptor family as a whole. To ensure em phasi...
Cyclic Nucleotides and Protein Phosphorylation in Cell Regulation
Volume 54, Symposium S7: Cyclic Nucleotides and Protein Phosphorylation in Cell Regulation documents the proceedings of the 12th Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) Meeting held in Dresden, Germany on July 5-7, 1978. This book discusses the biological significance and biochemical aspects of cyclic nucleotides and protein phosphorylation in cell regulation. The general aspects of cyclic nucleotide metabolism and action; cyclic nucleotides and nervous system; and cyclic nucleotides in muscle tissues are also elaborated. This publication likewise covers the cyclic nucleotides in secretion processes and miscellaneous aspects of cyclic nucleotide-dependent and independent protein phosphorylation. This volume is valuable to biochemists and biologists concerned with the cyclic nucleotides and protein phosphorylation in cell regulation.
Neuropeptide Analogs, Conjugates, and Fragments
Methods in Neurosciences, Volume 13: Neuropeptide Analogs, Conjugates, and Fragments covers the synthesis and characterization of peptide analogs, conjugates, and fragments, their use as ligands for receptors, and their role in the development and use of antisera. The book discusses techniques such as novel synthetic approaches; biotinylation; purification and characterization; radioligand techniques and assay development; use of agonists and antagonists; distinguishing receptor subtypes; conjugation to carrier proteins; antiidiotypic antibody development; and radiolabeling. Neuroscientists, biochemists, neurochemists, and pharmacologists will find the book useful.
