Description:
This book comprehensively reviews the current developments in endocrinology and the techniques available for molecular analysis of endocrine systems. Gene structure and regulation and methods of analysis are first described, followed by coverage of hormone receptors and intracellular signaling in relation to peptide hormones and the steroid hormone receptor superfamily. The biochemistry and molecular biology of selected endocrine systems are then discussed in detail, by reference to normal and disease states. This volume in the Human Molecular Genetics series is an invaluable text for endocrinologists wishing to update their knowledge. It also provides an excellent grounding in the basic genetics of molecular endocrinology and relevant analytical techniques for researchers less familiar with the field.
