Molecular Mechanisms of Exocytosis

Ed. by Romano Regazzi

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the role of key components in the exocytotic process, not only in neuronal and endocrine cells but in a variety of other relevant cell systems. So far, because of the large number of components involved, understanding of the molecular basis of exocytosis has remained the privilege of a relatively small group of specialists. The book collects up-to-date reviews from the forefront of this fascinating and rapidly evolving field.
