Description for The Ubiquitin System in Health and Disease
paperback. The ubiquitin system plays an essential role in numerous cellular processes by controlling protein stability and function. A deregulation of this system has been reported in various pathologies including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and immune disorders. This book presents the developments in this field. Series: Ernst Schering Foundation Symposium Proceedings. Num Pages: 191 pages, 7 black & white illustrations, 32 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MBGR; MF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 210 x 130 x 15. Weight in Grams: 249.
The ubiquitin system has two major functions in eukaryotic cells: it r- ulates protein degradation, which is essential for normal cellular fu- tion and for the removal of potentially harmful, damaged, or misfolded proteins, and it controls protein activity by regulating protein-protein interactions and subcellullar localization. The ubiquitin system is thus involved in processes as diverse as cell cycle progression, signal tra- duction, gene transcription, and DNA repair. Not surprisingly, defects in the ubiquitin system have been linked with numerous diseases such as cancer, in?ammation, central nervous system disorders, and metabolic dysfunction. Ubiquitin is a highly conserved 76-amino acid protein ... Read more
