Overview
Curtis Machida and a panel of expert investigators present a comprehensive collection of modern molecular methods for analyzing adrenergic receptors and corresponding second messenger systems. These proven and readily reproducible techniques utilize genetic, RNA, protein expression, transactivator, and second messenger methodologies, as well as immunocyhemical, electrophysiological, transgenic, and in situ hybridization approaches. Each of the experts writing here details the use of their chosen method in examining the adrenergic receptor system, using aspects of the genetic flow of information as a guide: DNA ' RNA ' transactivator ' protein expression ' second messenger analyses ' cellular analyses ' transgenic whole animal approaches. Comprehensive and rich in practical detail, Adrenergic Receptor Prools provides the first collection of readily reproducible methods for the study of these important regulators of CNS-mediated behavior and neural functions.
The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
This wide ranging collection of cutting-edge methods for adrenergic receptor analysis includes techniques for genetic, RNA, protein expression, transactivator, second messenger, transgenic, immunocytochemical, in situ hybridization, electron microscopic, and electrophysiological analyses. The methods emphasize the analysis of adrenergic receptors from the original gene to the whole organism. Adrenergic receptors are important modulators in the sympathetic control of various metabolic processes in the central and peripheral nervous system.
