Description
G-Proteins play a vital part in the regulation of transmembrane signalling cascades in a wide variety of cell types. As one might expect, alterations in their expression and function are apparent in many diseases. This book aims to address all the available information on modulations of the effectiveness of G-Protein mediated signal transduction in clinical disorders, ranging from alcoholism to cancers of the haemopoetic and pituitary systems. Against the context of normal signal transduction, the authors discuss whether alterations in G-Protein expression and function are the consequence or a symptom of various diseases states and examine the potential of pharmacological intervention in these processes.
