The mechanism of information transfer between cells is the subject
of Introduction to Signal Transduction. Until recently various
aspects of signaling by hormones were studied (and taught) under
the subject of endocrinology, and signaling by neurotransmitters
was the subject of neurochemistry. With growing awareness of the
many similarities between hormonal and neurotransmitter signalling,
recent years have witnessed the emergence of Signal Transduction as
an independent discipline covering all aspects of information
transfer between cells irrespective of the nature and source of the
signals. This book is designed for senior
undergraduate/graduate-level students interested in a basic
understanding of the major participants in the cellular Signal
Transduction pathways. The book covers the major topics in Signal
Transduction: receptors, which recognize the signals at the cell
surface; G-proteins, which transduce the signals; and adenylate
cyclases, guanlate cyclases, and phospholipases, which generate
second messengers. Chapters also focus on ion channels,
phosphodiesterases, protein kinases, phosphoprotein phosphatases
and nitric oxide, which participate in the cellular response to
signals; the health consequences of defects in Signal Transduction
proteins; and the central role Signal Transduction plays in drug
abuse. The book is suitable for an introductory course in Signal
Transduction as well as for self-study and review. It is
recommended for biology and medical students, as well as for
interdisciplinary science majors and pharmaceutical researchers.
