Books in the Factsbook series

Devoted to nuclear receptors, this work presents an introduction and describes the mode of action of the receptors in general. It also contains detailed entries covering each type of receptor. Entries provide information on: Nomenclature and structure; Isolation; DNA binding properties; Ligands; Expression; Target genes; Knockouts; and more.

Provides researchers and clinicians with information on over 330 blood group antigens, including history and information on terminology, chromosomal assignment, carrier molecular description, functions, molecular bases of antigens and phenotypes, effect of enzymes/chemicals, clinical significance, disease associations and key references.

Provides a framework of facts about channel molecules central to electrical signaling phenomena in living cells. This volume is devoted to Voltage-gated Channel Families, including those molecular complexes activated or modulated by calcium, potassium, and chloride.

Provides a catalog of the properties of families of molecules. This volume presents gene organization, amino acid sequences, physicochemical properties, and biological activity. It contains more than 40 entries on chemokines, and chemokine receptors from human or other origin, including IL-8, MCP-1, C5-a, RANTES, Lymphotactin, and CC CKR-1.
