Description

This comprehensive compilation provides a information on receptor sequences produced by recombinant DNA techniques used in combination with classical biochemistry. To minimize redundancies in this wealth of information, only a few receptors (some of which are typical for a whole group of similar receptors, others which are presently of special interest) are dealt with in a full-size chapter. Others are represented in the "TIPS Receptor Nomenclature Supplement" which is included as a special feature in this book, making this volume more useful as a receptor handbook.
