This authoritative resource reviews the physiological mechanisms underlying the handling of essential and toxic metal ions, including metal ion homeostasis, metals and enzyme activity, metals and transcriptional regulation, and metal ion transport. It also analyzes other functions designed to avoid metal-induced toxicity and mediate the metal enhancement of cellular function.
The role of metal ions and their effect on mammalian cells and organs are only beginning to be truly defined. Cellular and Molecular Biology of Metals arms metals toxicologists and cellular and molecular biologists with the necessary knowledge they need to take the research effort to the next level.
Key selling features:
Presents the most recent advances in the cell and molecular biology of metal ions
Provides a complete exploration of transport mechanisms
Addresses homeostatic metals as well as several environmentally relevant toxic divalent cations
Features contributions from experts in their respective fields
