Examines signal-activated phospholipases, a class of cellular enzymes activated in response to hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors, cytokines, and other agonists. This monograph provides a comprehensive view of the current field of phospholipases-mediated signal transduction.

This book examines signal-activated phospholipases, a class of cellular enzymes activated in response to hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors, cytokines, and other agonists. The signal-activated phospholipases produce a host of lipid-derived second messengers that mediate agonist and cell type-specific responses. This monograph provides an updated yet comprehensive view of the current field of phospholipases-mediated signal transduction. It allows an overview of the different signalling pathways and the cross-talk among them.
