{"product_id":"9781615045068","title":"Neuropeptides and Other Bioactive Peptides: From Discovery to Function","description":"Neuropeptides and peptide hormones represent the largest class of chemical messengers that transmit information from one cell to another. In this review, several decades of research on peptides in cell-cell signaling are summarized, with a focus on neuropeptide discovery, biosynthesis, and function. In addition to covering the well-studied aspects of neuropeptides, emerging concepts are discussed, including classical versus non-classical neuropeptides and direct versus indirect neuropeptides. Other potential functions for peptides in intercellular and intracellular signaling are also discussed.\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents: Overview of Neuropeptides \/ Neuropeptide Discovery \/ Neuropeptide Biosynthesis \/ Neuropeptides After Secretion: Receptors and Peptidases \/ Representative Neuropeptides \/ Concluding Remarks and Future Directions \/ References \/ Author Biography\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biota Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49789116449008,"sku":"9781615045068","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781615045068","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
