Signalling Mechanisms — from Transcription Factors to Oxidative Stress

by Lester Packer (editor), Karel W.A. Wirtz (Editor)

This is a comprehensive account of recent developments in the field of signal transduction mechanisms with an emphasis on calcium, protein kinase C and phospholipases. There is an in-depth coverage of transcription factors responsible for signal transduction from the cytoplasm to the cell nucleus. A special feature of the book is the connection between messenger molecules and free radical reactions and the role of antioxidant defense mechanisms to control these reactions.
