Infos

In light of the increasing importance of these proteins and their ligands for our understanding of cellular growth, differentiation, and development, as well as of diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, cancer, and inflammation, a team of internationally renowned editors and authors have compiled here the very first comprehensive book on these topics. They describe fatty acid-activated transcription factors as well as membrane and soluble fatty acid transporters, covering such aspects as structure and function, lipid-protein interaction, delivery of ligands, and the roles of these proteins in gene expression pertaining to the homeostatic and diseased states of cells and organs.
Incorporating recent findings, this is indispensable for basic scientists, health professionals in industry and clinics as well as postgraduate students.

Contributors among others: N.A. Abumrad, J.E. Schaffer, G. Schmitz, N.J. Brunskill, J. Storch, U. Seedorf, S. Mandrup, C.N.A. Palmer, T. Perlmann, H.I. Nebb, J. Bar-Tana, H. Kondo, C. Wolfrum, C. Kerkhoff , S. Farmer, E.J. Murphy, J.F.C. Glatz, P. Besnard, J.M. Stewart, A. Meirhaeghe, J. Plutzky, W. Wahli, R.A. Roberts Angesichts der zunehmenden Bedeutung dieser Proteine und ihrer Liganden für unser Verständnis des Zellwachstums, der Differenzierung und Entwicklung sowie für Krankheiten wie Fettsucht, Insulinresistenz, Arteriosklerose, Krebs und Entzündung präsentieren international renommierte Herausgeber und Autoren die erste zusammenfassende Darstellung zu diesen Themen. Ausführlich beschrieben werden die Fettsäure-aktivierten Transkriptionsfaktoren und die ansehnliche Zahl der membranständigen und löslichen Bindungs- und Transportproteine für Fettsäuren. In jeweils eigenen Kapiteln werden die Struktur und Funktion dieser Proteine behandelt, Lipid-Protein Wechselwirkungen sowie ihre Rolle in der Expression von Genen in Bezug auf die zelluläre Homöostase und deren Entgleisung bei Krankheit.
Neue Befunde integrierend ist dieses Buch unentbehrlich für Grundlagenforscher, Gesundheitsspezialisten in Industrie und Klinik sowie für fortgeschrittene Studenten und Doktoranden.
