Description for Cellular Peptide Hormone Synthesis and Secretory Pathways
Paperback. This book uses a broad variety of individual peptide systems to illustrate the modern biological concept of basic endocrinology. It also describes general issues such as maturation of secretory granules in the cells and cell-specific prohormone processing. Editor(s): Rehfeld, Jens F.; Bundgaard, Jens R. Series: Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation. Num Pages: 239 pages, 36 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PSB; PSF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 385.
The concept of hormonal regulation using intercellular peptide messengers dates back to the discovery of secretin in 1902. The concept was simple: A peptide is released from specific hormone producing cells, endocrine cells, into circulation upon stimulation of the cells. The peptide hormone travels via blood to its target, the cells of which are equipped with specific receptors for high-affinity binding of the particular peptide hormone. Receptor binding subsequently elicits action of the target cells. This concept has been seriously challenged by modern biochemistry and cell biology. Thus, it is now well established that the gene of a specific peptide ... Read more
