Infos

Protein kinases play a critical role in cellular processes that
impact overall organismal health and function. Of the kinases that
collectively make up the Human Kinome, CK2 has garnered special
attention because of its significant role in the generation of the
human phosphoproteome. The role CK2 plays in the development of
cancer and other disease has also made it of significant interest
for its potential role in future therapeutics. Protein Kinase
CK2 comprehensively brings together the varied work being done
on this critical enzyme.

Protein Kinase CK2 is logically divided into three
sections. The first section reviews key molecular and structural
aspects of the enzyme. The second section looks at functional
aspects of CK2 and the diverse roles it plays in cellular
development, function, and health. The final section focuses on CK2
and cancer, looking at the impacts of the kinase on neoplastic
development and its rapidly developing role as a therapeutic
agent.

With contributions from the world's leading experts in the
field, Protein Kinase CK2 will serve as an invaluable guide
to the expanding and vibrant body of research being performed on
this enzyme. This will be an essential volume for anyone working in
the fields of biochemistry, protein science, signal transduction,
metabolic regulation, and cancer biology and therapeutics.

Autor

Lorenzo A. Pinna received his B. Sc. in Biochemistry from the University of Padova in 1962. From 1965-66 he was postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Physiological Chemistry, Johns Hopkins University Medical School, Baltimore, USA. In 1975 he was appointed Professor of Medical Chemistry and Biochemistry and in 1988 Director of the Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of Padova. A pioneer in the field of CK2 research, his research interests encompass various aspects of protein phosphorylation, with special reference to the design of synthetic peptide substrates for the specific monitoring of protein kinases and the assessment of the biological role and pathogenic potential of protein kinase CK2.
