Hardcover, xxv + 414 pages, NOT ex-library. Printed in the USA. Limited signs of gentle wear, book is clean and bright with unmarked text and firm binding, free of inscriptions and stamps. Issued without a dust jacket. -- "The first and only book devoted entirely to membrane lipid asymmetry and its biological implications. Transmembrane Dynamics of Lipids is comprised of contributions from expert authors from leading research groups that present up-to-date quantitative data on the formation, stability, and biological consequences of the asymmetrical organization of lipids in cell membranes. Incorporating an impressive amount of new, previously uncollected data, the book examines transmembrane asymmetry and movement of lipids in biological membranes, and methods for the measurement of transmembrane lipid motion, emphasizing the role of lipid flippases and discusses biological functions associated with lipid asymmetry. In addition, it draws attention to important new discoveries in the field, such as the correlation between malfunction of lipid flippases and human diseases such as thrombosis and cancer. The book also addresses the manifold methods that are used to measure the rate of transmembrane movement of lipids in biological and model systems. The only guide to new discoveries regarding lipids in cell membranes, Transmembrane Dynamics of Lipids is designed to appeal to biophysicists, biochemists, and cellular and molecular biologists working in the growing field of membrane research." -- Contents: Part I: Assessing Transmembrane Movement and Asymmetry of Lipids -- 1. Methods for the Determination of Lipid Transmembrane Distribution and Movement in Biological Membranes 2. Detection and Measurement of Unlabeled Lipid Transmembrane Movement; Part II: Lipid Asymmetry in Cell Membranes -- 3. New Insights in Membrane Lipid Asymmetry in Animal and Plant Cells 4. Sphingolipid Asymmetry and Transmembrane Translocation in Mammalian Cells 5. Transbilayer Movement and Distribution of Cholesterol; Part III: Energy-Independent Protein-Mediated Transmembrane Movement of Lipids -- 6. Phospholipid Flip-Flop in Biogenic Membranes 7. Phospholipid Scramblase: When Phospholipid Asymmetry Goes Away; Part IV: Energy-Dependent Lipid Transport Across Membranes -- 8. Flip or Flop: Mechanism and (Patho)Physiology of P4-ATPase-Catalyzed Lipid Transport 9. Coupling Drs2p to Phospholipid Translocation, Membrane Asymmetry, and Vesicle Budding 10.
