Description

Along with others in the series, this book presents and discusses the results of research and exchange information on alpha-adrenoceptors from the viewpoint of both basic and clinical medicine. This volume focuses on the latest research on the structure, function and regulation of alpha-adrenoceptors, receptor-coupled ionic channels, and signal transduction and effectors of alpha-adrenoceptors. The book should be of interest to pharmacologists, molecular biologists and neurologists, and hopes to stimulate young researchers, in particular, to take up both clinical and basic research in this area.
