Calcium Homeostasis [Paperback]

With contributions by numerous expertsCalcium Homeostasis and Its Evolution.- Evolution of EF-Hand Proteins.- Calmodulin Target Recognition: Common Mechanism and Structural Diversity.- Calcium-Binding EGF-like Domains.- Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinases.- Structure of Calcineurin and Its Complex with Immunophilins.- The Ca2+ Pump of Sarcoplasmic and Endoplasmic Reticulum Membranes.- The Plasma Membrane Ca2+ ATPase.- The Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger: Structural Aspects, Function and Regulation.Volume III of this series deals with cellular calcium homeostasis aspects and structural properties of extra- and intracellular calcium-binding proteins are described. The structure/function relationship of calcium-transport proteins, and the role of calcium as a regulator of the activity specific protein kinases and phosphatase(s) are also described. The volume is a valuable source of information for graduate students and researchers who want to acquaint themselves with various aspects extracellular calcium. .The companion book series to the Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry Springer Book ArchivesDE
