This volume presents relevantbackground information to understanding the molecular basis governingunconventional protein secretion (UPS), and in particular explores the latesttechniques and protocols that have been successfully applied for the study ofthis topic. Detailed chapters include an overview of conventional andunconventional secretory pathways along with multidisciplinary approaches andmethods used for UPS analysis in different organisms. Written in the highly successful Methods inMolecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to theirrespective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step,readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting andavoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, UnconventionalProtein Secretion: Methods and Protocols will be usefulfor all interested in the secretory pathway field as well as applications incell biology, cell development, biomedical research, and healthcare.
