Publisher's Synopsis
This is a collection of in-depth reviews on ion channel regulation and biochemical signalling. The text examines advances in the study of ion channel protein structure and highlights the contributions of electrophysiologists to elucidating signalling pathways and effectors. Coverage is organized around the major signalling pathways, with sections on protein phosphorylation, second messengers, GTP-binding proteins, closely-associated proteins, and growth and differentiation. Consideration is given to both biochemical and electrophysiological approaches to studying these signalling pathways.
