This is a time of “great expectations” in the field of hormone and neurotransmitter action.
Recent advances in our understanding of receptors have been so dramatic that we appear …

The Receptors, Volume II deals with receptors for somatostatin, vitamin D, insulin, and
animal viruses, as well as for the? 2-adrenergic and Ah systems. The significance of …

the state of the art a: that time. AS implied by the title and pointed out by the Editors, the book
emphasises many different technical approaches which can be used to study receptor …

During the past few years considerable progress has been made in the study, identification,
isolation, and purification of a variety of membrane-localized receptors. The general …

Many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and cellular toxins initiate their ac-tion via specific
interactions with plasma membrane receptors. It is particularly striking how important the in …

Receptors for peptide hormones and neurotransmitters are integral components of the
plasma membrane of cells which serve to couple the external milieu to the intracellular …

Since the earliest pharmacological studies, the cell membrane has been considered a likely
site of drug interaction (Clark, 1933). Yet only within the past decade has considerable …

There are three structural regions common to hormone receptors on the cell membrane: an
external region containing the ligand-specific binding domain, a hydrophobic region …

Prefaces tend to be platitudinous and unconducive to perusal. To this hardened Editor, the
appearance of the book represents the end of a stamina-testing saga surpassing any past …

The control of cellular activity is accomplished by intracellular regulatory mechanisms and
by signals from outside the cell. These extracellular signals, such as hormones …
