The Serpin Family (eBook, PDF)

Proteins with Multiple Functions in Health and Disease
Redaktion: Geiger, Margarethe; Furtmüller, Margareta; Wahlmüller, Felix

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book provides an comprehensive overview on biology, genetics and cellular functions of serpins (serine protease inhibitors) in health and disease. With over 1000 members serpins are the most diverse family of protease inhibitors. Latest groundbreaking research findings are presented and broaden the understanding on inhibitory and non-inhibitory serpins, not only in mammalian organisms but also in insects, worms, plants and viruses.¿
