Endoplasmic Reticulum: A Metabolic Compartment

Benedetti (pathophysiology and experimental medicine, U. of Siena, Italy) et al. assemble 17 essays by an international group of scientists from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Endoplasmic Reticulum sponsored by the Certosa di Pontignano at Siena University in 2003. Papers encompass experimental research in the biochemistry and pathophysiology of the endoplasmic reticulum, genetic and metabolic diseases, and new research on its functions such as the glucose-6-phosphatase system, development disorders, regulation, genes and proteins, redox homeostasis and control, metabolism, and oxidative stress. There is an author list, but no subject index. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
