Methods in Neurosciences

Published 28 November 1997
Many of the phospholipases and even the receptor for inositol, 1,4,5-trisphosphate have recently been cloned and sequenced and play an important role in neurotransmission. This volume reviews methods for the examination of the enzymes and intermediates involved in the regulation of neuronal signal transduction involving phospholipid turnover. Major topics covered include: techniques for examining the role of phosphoinositides in signal transduction; techniques related to protein kinase C; analysis of inositol phosphates; and techniques to analyze phospholipid turnover in the brain.
