Synopsis

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. This book is intended for postgraduate and professional researchers in biochemistry and cell biology. Biomedical scientists whose research encompasses this field will also find this book useful.

About this title

Review

this small guidebook is indispensable. (Thomas D Pollard, Johns Hopkins Medical School, TIBS 19 -February 1994)

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. (Lora Hedrick, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Trends in Cell Biology, Vol 4.)
