G. Proteins as Mediators of Cellular Signalling Processes

by Miles D. Houslay and Graeme Milligan

Published 21 February 1990

This is the first book to chart the progress of our understanding of signal transduction in multicellular organisms. The articles, written by an international group of active researchers, relate structure to function and incorporate recent discoveries of changes in signalling molecules in pathological and transformed states. Coverage ranges from the discovery of the importance of a GTP-binding protein in the regulation of adenylate cyclase to the current day, when we find specific G-proteins regulating visual transduction, olfaction, the myriad of events surrounding cell growth control, and ionic events at the cell membrane.
