publisher: Academic Press, published: 1993-06-02 ASIN: 0120996200 EAN: 9780120996209 sales rank: 5410947 This volume comprises an interdisciplinary survey of the molecular and biochemical functions of magnesium in cells. It will be of use to biochemists and pharmacologists studying the many processes in which magnesium has a pivotal role. Clinical researchers will be interested because magnesium is the second most common intracellular ion. Its deficiency is frequently associated with concomitant changes in potassium ion. In practice, however, it is most common for the potassium ion charges alone to be treated, the association with magnesium not being recognized. This book will also be of value to those who seek to understand the molecular role of metal ions in the regulation of biological processes and the role of biomolecular interactions in cellular signalling and control. * SPECIAL FEATURES: * This book provides an interdisciplinary survey of the molecular and biochemical survey fo the molecular and biochemical functions of magnesium in the cells. * Covers magnesium's widespread role in regulation of enzymes, transmitters, membrane functions and cell-signalling processes. |

by: Author Unknown publisher: Academic Press, published: 1995-04-13 ASIN: 0123445507 EAN: 9780123445506 sales rank: 9430691 The Oncogene FactsBook is a condensed version of the Oncogene Handbook, in the FactsBook Series format. The key information on oncogenes, tumor viruses, and tumor suppressor genes has been selected from the Handbook and arranged in the series style to that the essential information is readily accessible. The introduction summarizes the principal developments in our understanding of oncogenes, the presente position with regard to gene therapy for human cancers, and discusses patterns of oncogene expression in human tumors. Chapter 2 contains tables of the major categories of oncogenes that include a summary of the properties of those oncogenes which do not have individual sections. Chapter 3 covers the individual oncogenes in a constant format for each entry. DNA tumor viruses and tumor suppressor genes are considered separately in two sections. The minimum number of references has been included in order to give the reader rapic access to the literature in the key areas of structure and function of each gene and its product. The emphasis has thus been placed on listing the most up-to-date references, rather than an extensive bibliography. The Oncogene FacsBook contains more that 60 entries on oncogenes including: JUN, MAS, MYC, MAX, and RAS, as well as DNA tomur viruses, tumor suppressor genes, and essential introductory material. * Individual Oncogene Entries include: * Identification * Related genes * Chromosomal Location and Mass * Cellular Location * Tissue Distribution * Protein function * Cancer * Amino acid Sequence * Domain structure * Database accession numbers * Key references |
